Either way, a licensed Illinois clinician oversees your GLP-1 pen prescription and dosing.

What a GLP-1 pen costs in Polo

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 Polo 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 Polo, Illinois

Brand-name pens are pre-measured and easy to use but cost the most. Compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide, often shipped as a vial with syringes, is the lowest cash-pay option in Polo (from around $199/month) and lets your provider fine-tune the dose.

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 Polo provider helps choose based on your history and goals.

Most Polo patients complete the online assessment and get provider approval within 24 hours. Medication ships in 2–3 days, so you can start your first dose within about 3–4 days. The whole process is online with licensed Illinois providers.

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.

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