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 Potrero 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 Potrero, 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 Potrero provider recommends the best pen based on your history, goals and insurance.

GLP-1 pricing in Potrero 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.

Compounded GLP-1s are prepared by 503A/503B pharmacies regulated by state boards and the FDA, with purity independently tested. They contain the same active ingredient as the brand-name drugs. Your Potrero provider monitors your progress and adjusts your protocol as needed.

Coverage varies widely by plan in California. 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 Potrero provider can verify benefits and file prior authorization.

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

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 Potrero provider can design a long-term or maintenance plan.
