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 University of Virginia 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 University of Virginia, Virginia

You can get weight loss shots in University of Virginia 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.

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 University of Virginia provider helps you choose.

You have three routes in University of Virginia: 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.

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 University of Virginia vary with diet, activity and starting weight.

GLP-1 medications are given as a once-weekly subcutaneous injection with a small, thin needle — either a prefilled pen or a vial and syringe. They slow gastric emptying, reduce appetite and signal fullness to the brain. Most University of Virginia patients self-inject at home after a quick demonstration; all supplies are included.

Coverage varies widely by plan in Virginia. 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 University of Virginia provider can verify benefits and file prior authorization.
