Medical Weight Loss

Bluegrass Telehealth prescribes semaglutide and tirzepatide medications to aid in weight loss. These medications paired with a healthy lifestyle have shown significant results. Insurance coverage for these medications are based on individual patient insurance plans, but Bluegrass Telehealth offers self-pay options for these medications.

Semaglutide

Semaglutide is a GLP-1 medication that helps reduce hunger, control cravings, and regulates blood sugar. Semaglutide is a cutting edge medication that provides powerful benefits during the weight loss process. Studies show that adults that take semaglutide medications lose upwards of 35lbs. Semaglutide is taken in a once weekly injection.

Tirzepatide

Tirzepatide targets two hormones, GLP-1 and GIP. This medication slows stomach emptying which provides a feeling of fullness and reduces hunger, slow intestinal mobility, lowers blood sugar, and stimulates insulin production.

Side Effects.

The most common side effects of these medications are nausea, diarrhea, and constipation.

Patients with a personal history of pancreatitis and thyroid cancer should NOT take this medication.
