What are semaglutide and tirzepatide?

Generic of Ozempic / Wegovy

Semaglutide

Semaglutide (the formula of Ozempic) is a GLP-1 agonist, which mimics a hormone that your body already produces and helps regulate appetite and blood sugar levels.

It slows the movement of food through your stomach, makes you feel full for longer, helps your body regulate sugar production, and even impacts the brain to reduce cravings or “food noise”.

$350 / monthly

Generic of Mounjaro

Tirzepatide

Tirzepatide (the formula of Mounjaro) is a GLP-1 agonist as well, but also works on the GIP receptor. The dual action allows tirzepatide to be more effective in lowering blood sugar levels and promoting weight loss.

$600 / monthly

Wellspring Health provides a generic compound of the medications, manufactured by a licensed and reputable compound pharmacy, in pre-filled syringes.

Are these medications approved for weight loss?

Both semaglutide and tirzepatide have been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for chronic weight management in adults.

How are they administered?

Both are taken once weekly, injected into the subcutaneous tissue in the belly. The needles are small, and easy to self-inject.

Is there anything else I need to lose weight, or just take the shots?

While awesome, these shots are not magic. You will lose weight, but only as long as you are taking the medication.

It will help you make a lifestyle change, and realize how much eating you really need. However, just like any diet, surgery etc., if you go back to eating what you shouldn’t, the weight will come back.

Are there any side effects?

These medications have an effect on your stomach, so most side effects are gastrointestinal in nature. Common possible side effects are nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation and sulfur burps. Most people can correlate this to when not eating properly. However, we can prescribe medications to help alleviate the side effects as the need arises.

Pro tip: we find it optimal to take the injection close to bedtime. This will help minimize the side effects, as you will not be very active or eating.

Are there different doses?

According to manufacturer recommendations, there are incremental dosage changes. We change doses every 4 weeks, if needed. We do not want to shock your body.

Our goal is to remain on the lowest effective dose. So, if you are losing weight and feel good, let’s stay on that dose. Taking more can lead to more side effects.

Is there a price difference between semaglutide & tirzepatide?

Yes, our current prices: tirzepatide $600 / monthly; semaglutide $350 / monthly.

Your guide

How do I give myself the injection?

Watch this video to learn how to self-inject your medication. You will be getting pre-filled syringes, so you can ignore any information about drawing up the medication from the vial.

Cleaning the injection site

The belly is usually the best site, anywhere more than 1 inch from the umbilicus (belly button). Swab the area with an alcohol swab and allow it to dry.

Self-injecting

  1. Prepare the syringe

    Remove the needle cover and hold the syringe with the needle pointing up. Push the plunger slightly until a drop of liquid appears at the needle tip.

  2. Pinch the skin

    Use your non-dominant hand to pinch a fold of skin and fat.

  3. Insert the needle

    Hold the syringe like a pencil with your dominant hand and insert the needle at a 90-degree angle into the pinched skin.

  4. Inject the medication

    Slowly push the plunger to administer the medication.

  5. Withdraw the needle

    Let go of the pinched skin and fat, and gently pull the needle straight out. If bleeding is present, apply some direct pressure using a gauze, alcohol swab or tissue.
