Most Popular Questions

How much weight can I loose?

Weight loss with GLP-1 medications varies, but many poeple can lose a meaningful amount of weight over time.

On average, studies show results can range from modest weight loss to around 15–20% of starting body weight, depending on the medication, dosage, and individual factors.

Results differ from person to person, so the best option depends on your health profile and should be discussed with a healthcare provider.

How quickly can I expect to lose the weight?

There is no set time for you to begin seeing results because people respond to medicine differently. Ask your health care provider about what a realistic expectation is for you.

Am I able to travel with my medicine?

For sure! When traveling by air it’s recommended to carry your pen in your carry-on as it may freeze in the baggage compartment below the plane. Check with your airline to see if they have specific baggage rules.

Can I take it at any time of the day?

Yes, it’s recommended that you take it on the same day every week at the most convenient time for you.

Can I change the day I take it?

You can change the day of the week you take it as long as your last dose was given 2 or more days before.

General Questions

What do I do if I miss a dose?

Don’t worry if you miss a dose and the next scheduled dose is more than 2 days away (48 hours), take the missed dose as soon as possible. If you miss a dose and the next scheduled dose is less than 2 days away, don’t administer the dose.

Wait until your next scheduled dose. If you miss doses for more than 2 weeks, call your health care provider to talk about how to restart your treatment. You can take your next dose on the regularly scheduled day.
