The most common side effects are nausea, loss of appetite, headaches and GI upset (diarrhea, constipation and bloating). These are typically associated with the initial dosing of the medication and resolve after a few days. Some clients experience 1-2 days of side effects with each injection. Our medical team can help you navigate these symptoms so you achieve maximum results while feeling great.

These are rare and are often associated with underlying health conditions that you will be screened for.

The length of the program depends on the client and the client’s goals. Weight loss averages 5 to 10 pounds per month and results may vary depending on overall health, diet and exercise. Most clients have at least 30lbs to use, so a minimum of 3 months is recommended. Some clients reach their weight loss goal and continue on a biweekly maintenance dose. The duration is tailored to each person’s needs to ensure steady and sustainable weight loss.

During the first month, you will start with the lowest recommended dose of Semaglutide or Tirzepatide. You will be asked at your weekly appointment to describe side effects and symptoms to determine how well you are tolerating your dose. Changes to dosing are made based on client tolerance. Most clients can expect to lose between 5 to 15 pounds in the first month with proper adherence to the program guidelines.

Both Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are FDA-approved medications designed to support weight loss by regulating appetite, lowering blood sugar, and promoting a feeling of fullness. While Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist, Tirzepatide is a dual-acting medication that targets both GLP-1 and GIP receptors, which may enhance its effectiveness for some individuals. Both options can be effective for long-term weight loss and weight management, and the best choice depends on your unique health goals, which can be discussed during your consultation at Thrive IV Bar.

When starting semaglutide, you might experience a range of side effects. Knowing what to expect can help you prepare and manage any symptoms effectively. Common side effects include gastrointestinal issues such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation. Headaches and a feeling of fatigue are also reported by some users. These reactions are typically mild and decrease in severity as your body adjusts to the medication.

While these side effects might seem daunting, remember they typically lessen over time as your body adapts. Armed with this knowledge, you’re better equipped to handle any issues that arise and continue on your path to improved health.
