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 Burlingame 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 Burlingame, California

For weight loss specifically, Wegovy (semaglutide) and Zepbound (tirzepatide) are the FDA-approved pens. In trials, tirzepatide produced greater average weight loss (up to ~22.5%) than semaglutide (~15%). Your Burlingame provider recommends the best pen based on your history, goals and insurance.

GLP-1 pricing in Burlingame 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 California patients. Compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide via telehealth is the most affordable cash-pay route, with all-inclusive plans from around $199/month.

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 Burlingame patients self-inject at home after a quick demonstration; all supplies are included.

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.

Some weight regain is common after stopping, with patients often regaining a portion within a year. Providers usually recommend gradual tapering and building sustainable habits while on the medication. Your Burlingame provider can design a long-term or maintenance plan.

Brand-name GLP-1s come as prefilled pens (pre-measured, very easy to use). Compounded medication often ships as a vial with syringes, which costs less and lets the provider fine-tune the dose. Both deliver the same weekly subcutaneous injection; your Burlingame provider will recommend what fits you.
