Frequently Asked Questions about Medication Choice
How do I know which GLP-1 medication suits me best?
The best medication depends on your BMI, health history, weight loss goal and personal preferences. Our quiz provides an initial indication, but the final choice is always made by a BIG-registered physician during a personal consultation with blood tests.
What is the difference between Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro?
Ozempic and Wegovy both contain semaglutide, but Wegovy has a higher dose (2.4 mg vs. 2.0 mg) and is specifically approved for weight loss. Mounjaro (tirzepatide) works dual-acting via GLP-1 and GIP receptors and is the most effective option with up to 22.5% weight loss.
Can I get a tablet instead of an injection?
Yes, Mysimba (naltrexone/bupropion) is an oral tablet that requires no injection. It is less effective than GLP-1 injections (5-8% vs. 15-22.5% weight loss), but a good option if you prefer no injections.
How long before I see results?
Most patients notice reduced appetite within 2-4 weeks. Visible weight loss typically begins after 4-8 weeks. The full dosage is gradually built up over 4-20 weeks, depending on the medication.
Can I switch to a different medication later?
Yes, in consultation with your physician you can switch to a different medication if the current one does not achieve the desired effect or if you experience side effects. This is always medically supervised.
Is the quiz a replacement for a doctor's consultation?
No, the quiz provides an indication based on your preferences. The final medication choice is always made by a BIG-registered physician at Go Leaner, based on your complete medical profile, blood tests and personal situation.
