GLP-1 Weight Loss Dosage Chart

Weekly Injections Dosage Plan

Your weight loss doctor will make a dosage plan based on your medical history and overall health after your teleWellness consultation. Typically, patients are started on a lower dosage and as your doctor receives feedback on your progress they may increase your dosage.

What Is a Compounded GLP-1?

Compounded GLP-1 is tailored for individual patients and produced at a trusted compounding facility and are required to be tested for strength, sterility, and purity.

Compounding is lawful, however it does not require FDA pre-market approval since they are not mass-produced for the general public. They are created in response to specific requests from healthcare providers, meaning the dosing and administration methods may vary from what is commercially available.

How Does GLP-1 Work and How is it Administered?

GLP-1 acts as an appetite suppressant by mimicking hormones that interact with your digestive system, which reduces feelings of hunger.

It also lowers caloric intake by delaying digestion and slowing gastric emptying. This means that food remains in your stomach longer, helping you feel satiated for extended periods and curbing your appetite.

Additionally, it influences the brain regions that manage cravings and hunger, enabling you to eat smaller meals less frequently.

GLP-1 is self administered as a subcutaneous injection once a week. The patient uses a very small needle to inject into their belly fat. The process is quick and painless.

Benefits of Maintaining a Healthy Weight

Maintaining a healthy weight can reduce the risk of conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, and heart disease. Even a small amount of weight loss can lead to significant improvements in overall well-being. GLP-1 can support weight management and improve health and longevity.

Potential Side Effects of GLP-1 Treatment

While GLP-1 is effective for weight loss, it may cause some side effects as your body adjusts. These side effects can vary in intensity, and not everyone will experience them. Common side effects include:

  • Nausea: One of the most frequently reported side effects, particularly in the first few weeks. Eating smaller meals and avoiding fatty or greasy foods can help reduce nausea.
  • Vomiting or Diarrhea: Some individuals may experience gastrointestinal issues like vomiting, diarrhea, or constipation. However, these often lessen as your body adapts.
  • Abdominal Pain: Mild to moderate stomach discomfort or bloating can occur, particularly during the initial phase of treatment.
  • Heartburn: Acid reflux or heartburn may be triggered in some users, especially after meals.
  • Fatigue: Some people report feeling more tired than usual in the early stages of treatment, which typically improves over time.
  • Decreased Appetite: While reduced appetite is a desired effect for weight loss, it can sometimes lead to fatigue or weakness if you are not eating enough nutrient-dense foods.
  • Dizziness: Lightheadedness may occur, especially if you’re eating less.

To minimize discomfort, try eating smaller, low-fat meals and drinking plenty of water.

It’s important to keep your doctor informed if any side effects become severe or persistent, or if you experience symptoms like intense abdominal pain, signs of pancreatitis, or other serious reactions.
