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 Scotia 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 Scotia, New York

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

To qualify for a GLP-1 in Scotia you typically need a BMI of 30 or higher, or 27 or higher with a weight-related condition such as hypertension, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol. A free online assessment with a licensed New York provider confirms your eligibility in minutes.

No. Scotia 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.

Brand-name GLP-1s come as prefilled pens (pre-measured, very easy to use). Compounded medication often ships as a vial with syringes, which costs less and lets the provider fine-tune the dose. Both deliver the same weekly subcutaneous injection; your Scotia provider will recommend what fits you.
