- You will receive an email with the invoice. Once that is paid the office will send you a consent with your dosing instructions to sign. Once that is signed the prescription will be released to the compound pharmacy. If the medication is covered by insurance it will be sent directly to a local pharmacy.
- Medication will be mailed from the pharmacy and can take up to 1 week and as soon as 2 days depending on how many patients are ahead of you. Please email [email protected] with any pharmacy questions.
- Inject in (subcutaneous fat)fatty area of the arm once weekly after dinner so you will sleep through any side effects. Alternate arms each week. You can try the thigh but do not use the abdomen as it is not as effective and can increase side effects.
- Most common side effects are nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. May be made worse if you eat greasy, over processed or high sugar food. Food must have nutritional value. This medication helps to retrain your brain to think of food as fuel. It will stop any food chatter, such as always, thinking of snacking.
- Do not skip meals even if you do not have an appetite. I Recommend 100 grams of protein each day minimum. Or you goal weight in grams of protein.
- The medication slows down your gastric emptying, so you need to drink 80-100 ounces of water daily to avoid constipation. This can give you temporary acid reflex symptoms, which will resolve with over-the-counter omeprazole.
- Weight lift to build lean muscle and help break down fat and avoid muscle wasting. The weights must be heavy enough so that it is difficult to lift each time and even harder to lift through 12 reps. This helps in long-term maintenance of goal weight as well. Fat does not weigh as much as muscle so you may see the scale does not move as much as you get closer to your goal but the inches are still decreasing. You must add creatine powder to your drink daily. Your muscles need creatine to build and maintain muscle. It helps to get a body scan to see fat percentage change as well.
