At Hillside Medical Clinic, we understand that losing weight isn’t just about willpower or counting calories. Your body is complex — and things like hormones, metabolism, stress, and genetics all play a role. That’s why we offer clinically backed weight loss options with semaglutide and tirzepatide, two revolutionary medications designed to help you reach and maintain a healthy weight — safely and effectively.
What We Offer
Semaglutide (Ozempic®, Wegovy®, Rybelsus®)
Semaglutide is an FDA-approved medication that mimics the GLP-1 hormone, which regulates blood sugar and appetite. It works by:
-
Increasing feelings of fullness
-
Slowing down digestion
-
Reducing cravings
-
Helping your body produce insulin when needed
Originally developed for type 2 diabetes, semaglutide is now widely used for weight loss — even in non-diabetic adults.
Tirzepatide (Mounjaro®)
Tirzepatide is a newer dual-action medication that mimics both GLP-1 and GIP hormones. This combination has shown even greater weight loss results than semaglutide in many clinical trials. Tirzepatide may help:
-
Curb appetite more effectively
-
Improve insulin sensitivity
-
Support greater fat loss over time
Both medications are administered as weekly injections under medical supervision.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to be diabetic?
No! Both semaglutide and tirzepatide are now prescribed for non-diabetic adults with a BMI over a certain threshold. These medications are especially helpful if you’ve struggled with weight for a long time or have obesity-related health risks.
How are the medications administered?
Semaglutide and tirzepatide are typically given as weekly injections. Our provider will show you how to administer them safely at home — or we can do it in-office if preferred.
Are there side effects?
Some patients experience mild side effects like nausea, bloating, or constipation. These usually go away as your body adjusts. Our provider will monitor your progress and make any necessary dosage changes to keep you comfortable and safe.
