Semaglutide is an FDA-approved medication used to treat type 2 diabetes and support long-term weight management.
EllieMD’s healthcare providers might prescribe a custom-made version of semaglutide that includes additional metabolic support ingredients such as Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12, Carnitine, or similar ones. The specific ingredients included may vary depending on your location and the pharmacy partnered with EllieMD. Therefore, depending on where you live, you may receive different metabolic support ingredients from your local pharmacy.
Semaglutide aids in weight loss by reducing hunger and increasing feelings of fullness. It mimics GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1), a hormone naturally produced by the gut when you eat. GLP-1 helps regulate appetite and blood sugar levels in the body.
Semaglutide is generally safe when used correctly with guidance from a healthcare provider. However, like any medication, it can have side effects. Common ones include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation, which are usually mild and temporary. In rare cases, more serious side effects like pancreatitis or kidney problems may occur.
It’s important to discuss the risks and benefits of semaglutide with your healthcare provider and report any side effects or concerns promptly.
Tirzepatide is an FDA-approved weekly injection used to treat type 2 diabetes. Although its primary purpose is for diabetes management, doctors may prescribe it off-label for weight loss. Clinical trials have demonstrated that tirzepatide can aid in weight loss, despite lacking FDA approval specifically for this purpose.
At EllieMD, our healthcare providers may prescribe a customized version of tirzepatide, potentially containing additional metabolic support ingredients. The pharmacy that ships your medication will depend on your state of residence, and each partnered pharmacy may offer its unique blend of metabolic support ingredients. As a result, you may receive different metabolic support ingredients based on your location.
Tirzepatide aids in weight loss by reducing hunger and increasing the feeling of fullness. It mimics the effects of natural hormones in your body, GLP-1 and GIP, which regulate appetite and blood sugar levels. Additionally, the medication slows down the emptying of your stomach, helping you feel satisfied sooner and remain full for an extended period.
Tirzepatide is generally safe when used as prescribed and monitored by a healthcare provider. However, like any medication, it can cause side effects. Common side effects of tirzepatide include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation. These side effects are usually mild and resolve over time. In rare cases, more serious side effects like severe stomach or kidney problems may occur.
It’s important to discuss the potential risks and benefits of tirzepatide with your healthcare provider and to promptly report any side effects or concerns you may have.
The package will include a vial of the medication (sufficient for up to 12 weeks, subject to your location and chosen pharmacy), instructional materials (with web links to video content), insulin needles, and alcohol swabs.
EllieMD’s weight loss medication must be refrigerated. Please refrigerate it promptly upon receiving the medication.
