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 Richmond 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 Richmond, Virginia

You can get weight loss shots in Richmond at the local medical weight-loss clinics ranked on this page, or online through a licensed telehealth provider that ships semaglutide or tirzepatide to your home. Both require a prescription from a Virginia-licensed provider.

GLP-1 pricing in Richmond depends on the option. Brand-name Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro and Zepbound run about $950–$1,400/month without insurance, though manufacturer savings cards can cut that sharply for eligible Virginia patients. Compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide via telehealth is the most affordable cash-pay route, with all-inclusive plans from around $179/month.

You have three routes in Richmond: a licensed telehealth provider who ships medication to your door, a local weight-loss clinic or med spa for in-person care, or a retail pharmacy with a prescription (cheapest if insurance covers it). The clinics listed on this page are real, ranked by Google rating, with reviews and hours.

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. Richmond providers follow FDA-guided criteria; a free assessment confirms eligibility.

Medication ships directly to your home in Richmond, Virginia in temperature-controlled, discreet packaging, with free shipping. Needles, syringes and alcohol wipes are included.
