The specific indication depends on the active ingredient, the brand and the clinical situation.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Do I need a prescription for GLP-1?<\/summary>\n<p>Yes. The medications mentioned are subject to prescription. The consultation does not guarantee a prescription: the doctor decides according to the indication and safety.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>What is the difference between semaglutide and tirzepatide?<\/summary>\n<p>They are different active ingredients. Semaglutide acts on the GLP-1 receptor; tirzepatide acts on GIP and GLP-1. The choice requires evaluating history, tolerance, current medication and objectives.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>How much weight can you lose?<\/summary>\n<p>There is no guaranteed result. The response varies depending on the indicated treatment, the tolerated dose, time, diet, physical activity and medical circumstances of each person.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>How long does the treatment last?<\/summary>\n<p>The duration is individual. The doctor reviews effectiveness, tolerance and safety before maintaining, adjusting or changing the plan.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>What are the most common side effects?<\/summary>\n<p>Nausea, diarrhea, constipation, vomiting or abdominal discomfort may appear, especially when starting or increasing the dose.
