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 St. Joseph 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.
