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 Washington Heights 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 Washington Heights, New York

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

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 as the dose increases. Rare but serious risks include pancreatitis, gallbladder issues and thyroid concerns. Your Washington Heights provider starts you low and monitors progress.

Compounded GLP-1s are prepared by 503A/503B pharmacies regulated by state boards and the FDA, with purity independently tested. They contain the same active ingredient as the brand-name drugs. Your Washington Heights provider monitors your progress and adjusts your protocol as needed.

Coverage varies widely by plan in New York. Many commercial plans cover Mounjaro for diabetes and Wegovy/Zepbound for weight management with prior authorization. Medicare Part D may cover diabetes indications but generally not weight-loss use. A Washington Heights provider can verify benefits and file prior authorization.

Both are tirzepatide from Eli Lilly. Mounjaro is approved for type 2 diabetes, Zepbound for chronic weight management. The molecule and weekly dosing are identical — only the indication differs.

Yes — licensed telehealth providers handle everything online in Washington Heights, from assessment to prescription. A New York-licensed provider reviews your history, runs a virtual consult and ships medication to your address. Local clinics on this page are the in-person alternative.
