Semaglutide + B12

How Does Semaglutide Work?

Semaglutide is a non-stimulant, medical weight loss injection that mimics your body’s natural GLP-1 hormone. It works by:

• Slowing how quickly your stomach empties

• Making you feel full longer after eating

• Helping reduce cravings and appetite

• Supporting blood sugar balance

Why Patients Love It:

• Feel full longer

• Lose weight gradually

• Support your overall health

When Will I See Results?

Some patients notice decreased appetite and smaller portion sizes in the first few weeks. However, the most noticeable weight loss typically starts around 8–12 weeks, especially as the dose is gradually increased.

How Long Can I Take It?

Semaglutide is FDA-approved for chronic weight management and is safe for long-term use. You can remain on it as long as you are seeing results, tolerating it well, and working toward your health goals.

Who Qualifies:

• BMI ≥ 30

• BMI 27–29.9 with a weight-related condition (e.g., high blood pressure, diabetes, PCOS)

Common Side Effects:

Mild symptoms like nausea, constipation, or bloating may occur early on but typically improve over time. Eating slowly, avoiding greasy foods, and drinking water can help manage side effects.

⚠️ Not recommended for patients with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) or MEN2 syndrome.

Tirzepatide + B12

How Does Tirzepatide Work?

Tirzepatide is a dual-action injectable medication that mimics both GLP-1 and GIP hormones. This offers enhanced appetite control and stronger metabolic effects. It works by:

• Suppressing hunger

• Slowing digestion

• Improving insulin response

• Boosting fat loss more aggressively

Why Patients Love It:

• Faster, more dramatic weight loss

• Great for those with more weight to lose

• May improve blood sugar, energy, and confidence

When Will I See Results?

Appetite changes often begin within the first 1–2 weeks. Most patients begin to see weight loss by week 4–6, with significant results around the 8–12 week mark.

How Long Can I Take It?

Tirzepatide is also approved for long-term weight management. As long as it’s well-tolerated and effective for you, it can safely be continued under your provider’s care.

Who Qualifies:

Same BMI criteria as Semaglutide. Tirzepatide is especially helpful for individuals who need more support or didn’t respond as well to other treatments.

Common Side Effects:

Mild nausea, burping, or fatigue can occur, especially in the beginning. These symptoms often decrease over time as your body adjusts to the medication.

⚠️ Not for individuals with a personal/family history of thyroid cancer or certain endocrine conditions.
