Question 1

What is a GLP-1 medication?

Accepted Answer

GLP-1 receptor agonists are a class of medications that mimic a naturally occurring hormone in your body, helping regulate appetite and blood sugar levels.

Question 2

Is this safe?

Accepted Answer

Your treatment is prescribed and monitored by a licensed physician who reviews your full medical history before prescribing. Your medication is prepared by a licensed U.S. pharmacy using the same active ingredients found in brand-name GLP-1 treatments.

Question 3

What are the side effects?

Accepted Answer

The most common side effects are mild nausea and digestive discomfort, which typically diminish within the first few weeks as your body adjusts. Your physician will start you on a low dose and gradually increase it.

Question 4

How quickly will I see results?

Accepted Answer

Response to treatment varies by individual. Some patients may notice changes in appetite during the initial weeks. Weight changes depend on dosage, diet, physical activity, and individual metabolism.

Question 5

What should I do if I experience side effects?

Accepted Answer

For a medical emergency or severe reaction, call 911. For non-emergency side effects, contact your Weltra care team through your patient portal.

Question 6

How is this different from brand-name Ozempic or Wegovy?

Accepted Answer

Weltra prescribes compounded semaglutide, which contains the same active ingredient as brand-name GLP-1 medications. Compounded medications are prepared by licensed U.S. pharmacies at a fraction of the brand-name cost. Compounded formulations are not individually FDA-approved.

Question 7

Can I cancel anytime?

Accepted Answer

Yes. There are no long-term contracts and no cancellation fees. You can cancel your subscription at any time.

Question 8

What if I'm not a candidate?

Accepted Answer

If your provider determines that GLP-1 medication is not appropriate for you, you will not be charged.

Question 9

Is my information secure?

Accepted Answer

Weltra follows HIPAA security standards. All personal health information is encrypted in transit and at rest.
