Medical Weight Loss - Risks and Safety

Medical weight loss with Semaglutide, Tirzepatide, or another medication has proven to be a highly effective method for achieving substantial weight reduction. However, as with any medical treatment, it’s crucial to understand the potential risks and common side effects associated with these medications. 

By being well-informed about the possible concerns, you can make a knowledgeable decision regarding whether this approach aligns with your individual needs and goals.

The most common risks of undergoing medical weight loss treatment with Semaglutide or Tirzepatide include:

• Digestive discomfort: Some patients may experience nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or constipation as their body adjusts to the medication. These symptoms usually subside over time.
• Injection site reactions: As Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are administered via injection, some individuals may experience redness, itching, or minor pain at the injection site.
• Headaches: A small percentage of patients may report mild headaches as a side effect of the medication.
• Fatigue: Some people may feel slightly more tired than usual when starting treatment with Semaglutide or Tirzepatide.

It’s essential to note that while our medical weight loss program focuses on the use of these medications, they should be used in combination with a healthy lifestyle for optimal results and risk reduction.
