21. What is semaglutide?

Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist. Wegovy is a semaglutide product with FDA-approved chronic weight-management indications for certain patients when used with reduced-calorie eating and increased physical activity. Other semaglutide brands have different approved uses. Eligibility, contraindications, dosing, and monitoring require an individual clinical evaluation. Review current FDA prescribing information.

22. What is tirzepatide and how does it work for weight loss?

Tirzepatide activates GIP and GLP-1 receptors. Zepbound is a tirzepatide product with FDA-approved chronic weight-management indications for certain patients when used with reduced-calorie eating and increased physical activity. Other tirzepatide brands have different approved uses. Eligibility, contraindications, dosing, and monitoring require an individual clinical evaluation. Review current FDA prescribing information.

23. What is a GLP-1 medication?

GLP-1 receptor agonists act on pathways involved in glucose regulation, digestion, appetite, and food intake. Drugs within this category do not all have the same approved indications, dosing, warnings, or expected outcomes. Weight Loss Davie provides education and provider-led evaluation based on individual eligibility and clinical appropriateness. See the NIDDK medication overview.

24. What is a PA-C and can they prescribe weight loss medications?

A PA-C is a certified and state-licensed medical professional with graduate-level clinical training. Florida law permits licensed PAs with delegated prescriptive authority to prescribe within the governing practice requirements. The appropriate medication and scope depend on the clinician's authority, training, practice arrangement, and the patient's evaluation. Read Florida Board of Medicine PA information.

25. Is medical weight loss covered by insurance?

Weight Loss Davie operates on a direct-pay basis and does not require insurance to begin the clinic's process. Coverage for consultations, prescriptions, medication, laboratory work, or related services varies. Ask the office for current pricing and check HSA, FSA, pharmacy, or insurance eligibility directly with the applicable administrator.

26. What is the difference between semaglutide and tirzepatide?

Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist. Tirzepatide activates both GIP and GLP-1 receptors. They have different FDA labeling, dosing schedules, warnings, contraindications, and study results. Separate trials should not be treated as a direct personal comparison. A provider must evaluate which option, if either, fits an individual's health history and clinical eligibility.

27. Do I need to come into the office or can I do everything remotely?

Weight Loss Davie offers in-person visits at our Davie, Florida clinic as well as phone and text follow-up care available statewide across Florida when clinically appropriate.
