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 Merrionette Park 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 Merrionette Park, Illinois

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

To qualify for a GLP-1 in Merrionette Park you typically need a BMI of 30 or higher, or 27 or higher with a weight-related condition such as hypertension, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol. A free online assessment with a licensed Illinois provider confirms your eligibility in minutes.

Clinical trials show tirzepatide (Mounjaro/Zepbound) produces greater average weight loss (up to ~22.5% of body weight) than semaglutide (Ozempic/Wegovy, ~15–17%). Tirzepatide activates two receptors (GLP-1 and GIP) versus one for semaglutide. Both are highly effective; your Merrionette Park provider helps choose based on your history and goals.

In clinical trials, semaglutide patients lost about 15% of body weight and tirzepatide patients up to 22.5% over roughly 68–72 weeks on the highest dose. For a 200-pound person that is roughly 30–45 pounds. Results in Merrionette Park vary with diet, activity and starting weight.

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 Merrionette Park 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.
