GLP-1 weight loss medication
GLP-1 medication, with a doctor and a plan behind it
GLP-1 medicines can make weight loss easier by helping you feel full sooner and stay full longer. At Glah Medical Group, they come with what we have done for more than 40 years: a physician watching your progress and an eating plan you can keep for life.
What GLP-1 medicines do
GLP-1 medicines copy a hormone your body already makes after you eat. They slow how fast your stomach empties and help quiet hunger signals, so many people eat less without feeling deprived.
What we offer
We offer two compounded GLP-1 medicines, each combined with vitamin B‑12:
Semaglutide with vitamin B‑12
Semaglutide is the active ingredient found in Wegovy®.
Tirzepatide with vitamin B‑12
Tirzepatide is the active ingredient found in Zepbound®.
Compounded medicines are prepared for you by a licensed pharmacy. They are not FDA-approved and are not the same as brand-name Wegovy® or Zepbound®. Wegovy and Zepbound are trademarks of their owners.
Why get it here
- A physician decides if it is right for you. We review your health history and current medicines first. A GLP-1 is not safe or right for everyone.
- Medication plus an eating plan. The medicine helps with appetite. Our eating plan, built on food from your own grocery store, teaches habits that help you keep the weight off.
- Regular check-ins. We check your weight and blood pressure, ask how you feel, and adjust your plan and dose as you go.
- 40+ years of weight loss care in Lancaster and Camp Hill.
Side effects
The most common side effects are stomach-related, such as nausea, especially when starting or raising the dose. The doctor goes over the risks and side effects with you before you start and at each visit. Tell us right away about any side effects you have.
Individual results vary. GLP-1 medicines are prescription medicines and are only prescribed after a physician evaluation.
