Frequently Asked Questions
- How much weight can I realistically lose with semaglutide?
- Clinical trials (STEP program) demonstrate average weight loss of 15–20% of total body weight over 68 weeks. Individual results vary based on starting weight, dose, adherence, and lifestyle factors, but semaglutide consistently outperforms all previous prescription weight loss medications in head-to-head comparisons.
- What are the most common side effects of semaglutide?
- The most common side effects are gastrointestinal: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation — especially during dose escalation. These typically diminish as the body adjusts to the medication. Starting on a low dose and gradually increasing minimizes these effects. Serious side effects are rare but include pancreatitis and thyroid concerns.
- Is semaglutide an injection or a pill?
- Semaglutide is primarily available as a once-weekly subcutaneous injection using a small, thin needle in the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm. An oral form (Rybelsus) also exists but requires specific dosing conditions and is less commonly prescribed for weight loss. Our compounded injectable semaglutide follows the same injection protocol as Ozempic and Wegovy.
- Is telehealth legal in Maryland?
- Yes, telehealth is fully legal in Maryland with comprehensive regulations supporting virtual healthcare delivery. Licensed providers can offer consultations, prescriptions, and ongoing care management.
- Can DC commuters in Maryland use telehealth?
- Telehealth is perfect for Maryland's DC commuters. Skip the traffic and get care from home, whether you're in Bethesda, Silver Spring, or Columbia.
- Does Maryland insurance cover telehealth?
- Yes, Maryland requires insurance companies to cover telehealth services at parity with in-person visits. Most commercial plans and Medicaid cover virtual consultations.
