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 Lakeside 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 Lakeside, Ohio

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 Lakeside provider helps you choose.

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 Lakeside vary with diet, activity and starting weight.

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 Lakeside provider monitors your progress and adjusts your protocol as needed.

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.

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.

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