Q: What are the common side effects of Semaglutide/Tirzepatide?

The most common side effects are mild, and tend to improve with time as the body adjusts to the medication. Nevertheless, you should always check with us if side effects are bothersome, or if you have questions about them. Common side effects include: • Nausea • Diarrhea • Vomiting • Constipation • Stomach (abdomen) pain • Headache • Fatigue (tiredness) • Heartburn • Bloating, burping, or gas • Injection site pain • Indigestion • Burning feeling in the chest or stomach More serious side effects may include: pancreatitis, gallbladder problems, kidney problems, serious allergic reactions, increased heart rate, and depression. You can prevent or lessen the side effects by paying attention to what you eat. For example, fried, fatty and sugary foods, tend to be harder for your body to digest and most likely to cause nausea. Because pairing vitamin B6 to your treatment can help mitigate some of these side effects, we offer vitamin B injections for an additional cost. Above all, keep us informed of your symptoms to help with determining the dosage for the next week.

Q: Tips to consider while taking Semaglutide/Tirzepatide:

• Eat slowly in order to feel fuller faster. • Take smaller meals will help avoid nausea. • Drink a glass of water with one tablespoon Metamucil or Citrucel daily for constipation. • Avoid fried, greasy, or sugary foods that are harder and longer to digest. • OTC Omeprazole, a proton pump inhibitor, helps to counteract acid reflux. • Take Reacted Magnesium daily for constipation. • Liquid IV (electrolytes) neutralizes acids in your stomach, helping decrease reflux/nausea.

Q: What is the delivery time frame of my monthly prescription?

Order fulfillment can take one week excluding shipping time. Also, beware of the shipping times when ordering subsequent refills so that you do not run out of medicine. If you need to change the day of the week for the injection, it is not a problem as long as the last dose was given at least two days prior.

Q: How often do I need to visit the clinic to continue on my medication?

After the required in person consultation the patient will self-inject weekly in the privacy of their homes. However, we can inject for you for a $30 injection fee with the medication from your prescriptive vial of Semaglutide or Tirzepatide. Thereafter, the patient will come in once monthly for a follow up exam and to renew their prescription! In order to continue with the program, patients need to check in monthly for progress reports. As such, we want to know your symptoms and progress so that we can advise you on the dosing of the drugs for the next month. Dosing can vary by month depending on your results and symptoms. Most importantly, failure to comply with our monthly check in requirement will result in us not refilling your prescription. This is for your safety!

Question 1

What is the cost of the consultation?

Accepted Answer

There is a ONE time, non-refundable $200 consultation fee due upon booking. We then conduct the initial consultation in the office.

Question 2

How does prescription pricing work?

Accepted Answer

The price of Semaglutide or Tirzepatide varies depending on the dosage, which can range between $250-$500. The amount prescribed is completely dependent on a patient-to-patient basis and is recommended in office based on the patient's unique needs and goals. We require payment in full for RX, at time of your appointment. Per law, prescriptions are non-refundable and non-returnable. Unfortunately, insurance does not cover Semaglutide or Tirzepatide for weight loss, and Luxury Beauty Clinic does not bill these drugs to insurance.

Question 3

What is the difference between Semaglutide & Tirzepatide?

Accepted Answer

Both Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are effective weight loss medications, but they work slightly differently. Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist, while Tirzepatide activates both GLP-1 and GIP receptors, enhancing fat metabolism and insulin release. Tirzepatide has shown greater weight loss potential (up to 22% of body weight vs. 15% with Semaglutide) and may cause less nausea. Both are once-weekly injections that slow digestion, reduce appetite, and improve blood sugar control. Choosing the right one depends on your goals—Luxury Beauty Clinic offers both with personalized guidance. Book a consultation to get started!

Question 4

How quickly does it work?

Accepted Answer

Like most weight loss solutions, results vary depending on lifestyle adjustments. Therefore, we highly recommend a healthy diet and eating habits paired with your Semaglutide or Tirzepatide injections. This will ultimately help insure maximum results. Also, we recommend that you drink plenty of fluids and stay on the weekly injection schedule.
