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 Old Fort 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 Old Fort, North Carolina

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 Old Fort provider helps you choose.

Brand-name shots run about $1,000–$1,400/month without insurance in Old Fort. Compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide via telehealth starts around $199/month all-inclusive. With North Carolina insurance coverage, copays can be as low as $25–$50.

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 Old Fort provider or clinic will show you how to self-inject, rotating between the abdomen, thigh and upper arm.

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 Old Fort provider monitors your progress and adjusts your protocol as needed.

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. Old Fort providers follow FDA-guided criteria; a free assessment confirms eligibility in minutes.

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 Old Fort provider will recommend what fits you.
