FAQs
Still not sure? We got you...
Obesity is a chronic disease, and GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) like semaglutide and tirzepatide are approved for long-term use. Treatment is typically started at a low dose and gradually increased to the target or maximum tolerated dose. Once weight loss and health goals are achieved, treatment can be tapered and discontinued, but chronic therapy is often needed to maintain weight loss.
The body has mechanisms that resist weight loss and promote weight regain after stopping treatment, a process called metabolic adaptation. GLP-1 RAs help counteract this by decreasing appetite and slowing gastric emptying. However, weight regain is likely if the medication is stopped without additional support or lifestyle changes.
GLP-1 RAs can cause nausea and vomiting by slowing gastric emptying. Strategies to minimize these side effects include starting at a low dose and gradually titrating up, staying hydrated, and potentially using additional medications for nausea if needed.
The half-life of GLP-1 RAs like semaglutide is around 7 days, meaning it takes up to 80 days for the medication to be completely metabolized out of the body.
No, it is not recommended to skip dose strengths or increase the dose faster than prescribed. The medication is titrated slowly to allow the body to adapt and minimize side effects.
It is recommended to stop GLP-1 RAs at least 2 months before trying to conceive. If pregnancy occurs while on the medication, it should be stopped immediately and the physician consulted.
Yes, you can travel with GLP-1 injections, but it may be advisable to request a more secure vial from the pharmacy instead of individual injections. Inform airport staff if carrying injections and follow proper storage instructions.
