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 Washington Heights 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 Washington Heights, New York

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

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

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 as the dose increases. Rare but serious risks include pancreatitis, gallbladder issues and thyroid concerns. Your Washington Heights provider starts you low and monitors progress.

No. Washington Heights telehealth providers offer cash-pay compounded options with a free online consultation, and HSA/FSA cards are accepted. Insurance is applied when available to further reduce your cost.

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.

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 Washington Heights provider can design a long-term or maintenance plan.
