Purpose & Scope of CareBastien Wellness Medicine PLLC provides medically guided weight loss support. These services are not a substitute for primary medical care. We are not your treating physician for unrelated health concerns. You must continue care with your primary healthcare provider and notify them of your participation in GLP-1 therapy.
Medication OverviewMedications used in this program may include: • Semaglutide and Tirzepatide – GLP-1 receptor agonists that may support weight loss by increasing insulin secretion, reducing appetite, and delaying gastric emptying. • These medications are dispensed through a compounding pharmacy (not brand-name Ozempic®, Wegovy®, Zepbound®, or Mounjaro®). Compounded medications are not FDA-approved, though they contain the same active pharmaceutical ingredient. • I understand that I have access to branded medications and may discuss this option with the consulting provider.
Adjunctive Support (sometimes added): • Glycine – may support anti-inflammatory effects, gut health, sleep quality, stress management, and insulin sensitivity. • Vitamin B3 – may help reduce injection site irritation, and boost energy. Potential Side EffectsCommon: • Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation • Headache, dizziness, fatigue • Hypoglycemia (especially with insulin or sulfonylureas) • Abdominal pain, indigestion, injection site reactions • Appetite loss
Less common but serious risks: • Pancreatitis (severe abdominal pain ± vomiting) • Gallbladder issues (stones, inflammation) • Thyroid tumors (contraindicated with MTC or MEN 2 history) • Delayed gastric emptying (may affect absorption of other medications, e.g., oral contraceptives) • Allergic reactions or anaphylaxis (rare)
