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 Augusta 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 Augusta, Missouri

Semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy) targets one receptor and averages ~15% weight loss; tirzepatide (Mounjaro, Zepbound) targets two receptors and reaches up to ~22.5%. Tirzepatide is generally more effective but costs more. A Augusta provider helps you choose.

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 Augusta start you at a low dose and increase gradually, so results build steadily rather than overnight.

In clinical trials, semaglutide patients lost about 15% of body weight and tirzepatide patients up to 22.5% over roughly 68–72 weeks on the highest dose. For a 200-pound person that is roughly 30–45 pounds. Results in Augusta vary with diet, activity and starting weight.

GLP-1 medications are given as a once-weekly subcutaneous injection with a small, thin needle — either a prefilled pen or a vial and syringe. They slow gastric emptying, reduce appetite and signal fullness to the brain. Most Augusta patients self-inject at home after a quick demonstration; all supplies are included.

Most Augusta patients complete the online assessment and get provider approval within 24 hours. Medication ships in 2–3 days, so you can start your first dose within about 3–4 days. The whole process is online with licensed Missouri providers.

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.
