We do encourage everyone to complete their own research.
When should I start to lose weight when using a GLP-1?
Most individuals begin to notice weight loss within the first 4-8 weeks of starting a GLP-1 medication, though results can vary depending on diet and lifestyle changes. Significant, sustainable progress is typically achieved over several months with consistent use and a comprehensive weight management plan.
What are the common side effects of GLP-1s?
Common side effects of GLP-1 medications include nausea, diarrhea, constipation, or mild stomach discomfort, especially when first starting treatment. These symptoms are usually temporary and can often be minimized by adjusting your dosage gradually as directed by your healthcare provider.
