If side effects are intolerable, your GP can discuss alternative treatment options, including other GLP-1 receptor agonists, which may have different tolerability profiles, or entirely different classes of diabetes medications
If possible, have your semaglutide shipped to your workplace, a staffed mailroom, or a location where someone can bring the package inside promptly upon delivery
Youll still start semaglutide at the standard 0.25 mg weekly starting dose despite previous GLP-1 exposure
Semaglutide is administered via a subcutaneous injection, usually once a week
The time your treatment takes can vary based on your individual weight loss needs, but these injections can be taken as long as you need it
Additionally, prescription weight loss drugs are often expensive without substantial insurance coverage
