WHAT ARE SEMAGLUTIDE AND TIRZEPATIDE?

Semaglutide and tirzepatide are medications used for medical weight management. They work by
mimicking natural hormones that help regulate appetite, blood sugar, and feelings of fullness.

HOW DO THESE MEDICATIONS HELP WITH WEIGHT LOSS?

They help reduce appetite, slow stomach emptying, and improve satiety, which can lead to reduced
calorie intake and sustainable weight loss when combined with lifestyle changes.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BEWTEEN SEMAGLUTIDE AND TIRZEPATIDE?

Semaglutide works on one hormone pathway involved in appetite regulation, while tirzepatide works on
two hormone pathways. Your provider will help determine which option is best for you based on your
goals and medical history.

WHO MAY BE A CANDIDATE FOR THESE MEDICATIONS?

These medications may be appropriate for adults who struggle with weight loss despite diet and
exercise, or who have weight-related health concerns. A medical evaluation is required to determine
eligibility.

HOW ARE THESE MEDICATIONS TAKEN?

They are typically administered as a once-weekly injection. Dosing is started low and gradually
increased to improve tolerance.

ARE THESE MEDICATIONS SAFE?

When prescribed and monitored by a licensed medical provider, semaglutide and tirzepatide are
generally well tolerated. Potential risks and side effects will be reviewed before starting treatment.

WHAT ARE COMMON SIDE EFFECTS?

Common side effects may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, or decreased appetite.
These often improve as the body adjusts to the medication. 

DO I NEED LABS BEFORE STARTING WEIGHT LOSS MEDICATION?

Labs may be recommended based on your medical history to ensure treatment is safe and appropriate.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO SEE RESULTS?

Many patients begin to notice appetite changes within the first few weeks. Weight loss occurs gradually
and improves over time with consistent use and lifestyle support.

WILL I NEED TO CHANGE MY DIET OR EXERCISE?

Yes. These medications work best when combined with healthy nutrition, movement, and lifestyle
changes. They are tools to support long-term success, not replacements for healthy habits.

ARE THESE MEDICATIONS FDA-APPROVED?

Semaglutide and tirzepatide are FDA-approved for specific indications. In some cases, compounded
versions may be prescribed. This will be discussed during your consultation.

IS THIS MEDICATION A LIFELONG TREATMENT?

Treatment length varies. Some patients use these medications short-term, while others benefit from
longer use. Your provider will reassess regularly to determine the best plan for you.

HOW DO I GET STARTED?

Schedule a consultation to review your goals, medical history, and determine if semaglutide or
tirzepatide is right for you.
