Ozempic is semaglutide (a GLP-1) that may be prescribed for weight loss, if appropriate. It’s a once-weekly shot that works by mimicking your body’s natural hormones, helping you feel fuller faster and for longer.
It produces an amazing 20% weight loss on average and is the first drug that targets both GLP-1 and GIP, resulting in more effective glycemic control and appetite suppression. Reductions in body weight have also been shown to be greater with tirzepatide versus semaglutide and increased with the dose: 1.9 kg for 5 mg, 3.6 kg for 10 mg, and 5.5 kg for 15mg.
Suppresses appetite and prolongs feelings of fullness allowing for caloric reduction.
Delays gastric emptying which causes food to stay in the stomach longer, producing a feeling of fullness and satiety.
Modulates neural signals mediated by GIP and GLP-1 receptors that regulate gastrointestinal motility and feeding behaviors. This optimizes satiation.
May increase resting energy expenditure through thermogenic effects, promoting greater calorie burning.
When combined with diet and exercise counseling, GLP-1 medication enables patients to follow lower calorie meal plans and increase physical activity more comfortably and effectively.
While everyone is unique, many people have lost 15% or more of their starting body weight with tirzepatide.
A clinical trial of over 2,500 people who are considered obese or overweight experienced significant weight loss in the first of tirzepatide’s weight loss studies. Those treated with tirzepatide had an average weight loss of 15% to 20% of their starting body weight over 72 weeks (about 16.5 months). This worked out to an average weight loss of 34 lbs to 48 lbs. Those taking the placebo (an injection with no medication in it) only had an average of 3% weight loss.
What’s more, over a third of those taking the highest tirzepatide (15 mg per week) lost at least 25% of their starting body weight (over 58 lbs).
Incredible experience with this program. They made a genuine effort to understand my needs and provided outstanding support. A life-changing journey.
It dramatically reduces blood glucose and weight by combining a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA) with a glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP). The therapy brought significantly greater reductions in glycated hemoglobin (A1C) and weight than semaglutide, a well-known GLP-1 RA. Many patients whose A1C is above 8% never achieve glycemic control, which can lead to multiple long-term complications, including blindness or cardiovascular events.
GLP-1 RA tirzepatide offers an option that could reduce A1C and help patients lose weight, but even this powerful incretin needed a helper. Enter GIP, which further aids—and optimizes—the right amount of insulin secretion.
Even though Tirzepatide has been approved for type 2 diabetes, studies indicate that it could be the most effective weight loss drug ever produced. Tirzepatide has three main mechanisms of action. It enhances the growth of beta cells in the pancreas, which are sites of insulin production. This means your body has improved control over blood sugar spikes. Compounded tirzepatide also delays gastric emptying. The delay in gastric emptying can reduce appetite. Finally, tirzepatide improves control of eating and reduces food cravings.
**Prescription required, but our providers handle the prescribing and filling through telemed.
Certainly! Administering supplements through intramuscular injections is both safe and efficient. Upon placing your order, we’ll supply you with a comprehensive instructional video guiding you through the proper steps for a secure intramuscular injection.

Prescription medication can cause side effects when used including diarrhea, nausea, low blood sugar and decreased appetite. Adverse reactions may occur at higher doses but, overall, semaglutide injection medication is generally well tolerated. People with certain types of thyroid disorders should not use semaglutide injections.
Injections and alcohol should not be used together. Given the possibility of adverse effects, patients considering using Semaglutide medication should discuss any concerns with a qualified medical provider before use. People with an allergy to Semaglutide medication or similar medications should avoid using semaglutide prescription medication.
