GLP-1 medications work best alongside nutrition and lifestyle changes. Here is how the options compare, all under medical supervision.
GLP-1 medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide mimic a hormone your gut releases after eating. They slow digestion and signal fullness to your brain, so you feel satisfied with less food and fewer cravings, which drives steady, meaningful weight loss.
At SOM, these medications are only prescribed after a licensed medical provider confirms you are a candidate, and they are paired with dosing guidance, monitoring, and nutrition support. They are a medical tool, not a shortcut, and work best as part of a supervised plan.

Cost depends on the medication, your dose, and program length. Monthly pricing includes medication, dosing guidance, and monitoring. Use this as a planning guide, your plan is set after a medical consultation.

Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist. Tirzepatide acts on both GIP and GLP-1 receptors. Both are prescription options used with reduced-calorie nutrition and physical activity; injectable formulations are generally dosed once weekly. They are not interchangeable. A licensed medical provider should select an appropriate option based on the approved indication, health history, medications, contraindications, expected tolerability, goals, availability, and cost.
Eligibility is not based on weight alone. For FDA-approved chronic weight-management indications, adults generally have obesity (BMI 30 or higher) or overweight (BMI 27 or higher) plus at least one weight-related condition. A provider must also review your medical history, current medications, diabetes treatment, pregnancy plans, and relevant safety risks. Exact eligibility and product choice require a consultation and may include laboratory testing.
Common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, constipation, abdominal discomfort, and decreased appetite, especially during dose escalation. More serious problems can include pancreatitis, gallbladder disease, dehydration-related kidney injury, severe allergic reactions, and low blood sugar when combined with certain diabetes medicines. FDA-approved products are contraindicated with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or MEN 2. Seek urgent care for severe persistent abdominal pain, breathing or swelling symptoms, or severe dehydration.
No result is guaranteed to be permanent. Obesity and overweight often require long-term management, and clinical trials found substantial weight regain in many participants after semaglutide or tirzepatide was withdrawn. Nutrition, physical activity, sleep, and follow-up still matter. Do not stop, restart, or change the dose on your own; discuss an individualized maintenance or transition plan with the prescribing clinician.
Many FDA-approved injectable products are designed for once-weekly self-injection at home after training, but the device and instructions depend on the exact product prescribed. Your clinical team should review storage, preparation, injection-site rotation, sharps disposal, and missed-dose instructions. Never share a pen, vial, or needle. If self-injection is difficult, discuss the available options before starting treatment.
Yes. SOM’s current program starts with an eligibility consultation and labs. A licensed medical provider then selects the medication and dose, follows response and side effects, and adjusts the plan when clinically appropriate. Dose changes should follow the prescribed escalation schedule rather than being self-directed. Nutrition and lifestyle support remain part of the program, and persistent or severe symptoms should be reported promptly.
