What to expect: dosing & side effects

GLP-1 medications are given as a once-weekly subcutaneous injection, starting at a low dose that your provider increases gradually over several weeks to limit side effects. Most Shepherd patients self-inject at home after a short demonstration.

The most common side effects are nausea, diarrhea, constipation, decreased appetite and mild injection-site reactions — usually mild and fading over the first few weeks. Rare but serious risks include pancreatitis, gallbladder issues and thyroid concerns; GLP-1s should not be used by people with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or MEN 2. Your provider reviews your full history before prescribing.

Frequently asked questions

GLP-1 treatment in Shepherd, Michigan

Not much. The shots use a short, thin needle (4–5 mm) injected just under the skin, and most patients describe it as a quick pinch. Your Shepherd provider or clinic will show you how to self-inject, rotating between the abdomen, thigh and upper arm.

Most people notice reduced appetite within the first week or two, with meaningful weight loss over months. Trials showed ~5–10% loss by three months. Providers in Shepherd start you at a low dose and increase gradually, so results build steadily rather than overnight.

GLP-1 pricing in Shepherd depends on the option. Brand-name Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro and Zepbound run about $950–$1,400/month without insurance, though manufacturer savings cards can cut that sharply for eligible Michigan patients. Compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide via telehealth is the most affordable cash-pay route, with all-inclusive plans from around $199/month.

No. Shepherd telehealth providers offer cash-pay compounded options with a free online consultation, and HSA/FSA cards are accepted. Insurance is applied when available to further reduce your cost.

Both are semaglutide from Novo Nordisk. Ozempic is FDA-approved for type 2 diabetes (often used off-label for weight loss), while Wegovy is approved specifically for chronic weight management at a higher dose. Same molecule, different indication and dosing.

Standard criteria: BMI 30 or higher, or 27 or higher with a weight-related comorbidity such as hypertension, type 2 diabetes, dyslipidemia or sleep apnea. Shepherd providers follow FDA-guided criteria; a free assessment confirms eligibility in minutes.
