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 Forest Acres 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.

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 Forest Acres provider helps you choose.

Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are made 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 shots. Your Forest Acres provider monitors your progress and adjusts your dose.

To qualify for a GLP-1 in Forest Acres 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 South Carolina provider confirms your eligibility in minutes.
