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 Alta Sierra 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 Alta Sierra, California

Yes. Telehealth providers ship GLP-1 medication directly to your home in Alta Sierra, California in temperature-controlled packaging, usually within 2–3 business days of approval, with all needles and supplies included.

GLP-1 pens are injected under the skin once a week, rotating between the abdomen, thigh and upper arm. The needle is short (4–5 mm) and the injection is nearly painless. Store the pen refrigerated and follow the dose schedule your Alta Sierra provider sets, which starts low and increases gradually.

Both are semaglutide from Novo Nordisk. Ozempic is FDA-approved for type 2 diabetes (often used off-label for weight loss), while Wegovy is approved specifically for chronic weight management at a higher dose. Same molecule, different indication and dosing.

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. Alta Sierra providers follow FDA-guided criteria; a free assessment confirms eligibility in minutes.

Medication ships directly to your home in Alta Sierra, California in temperature-controlled, discreet packaging, typically within 2–3 business days of approval. Needles, syringes and alcohol wipes are included.
