Weight loss
GLP-1 weight loss, supported by real clinicians.
Lose weight steadily with semaglutide or tirzepatide programs designed around your health, your goals, and your pace — fully online, with ongoing provider support.
What is a GLP-1 medication?
GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) medications are a class of prescription drugs that mimic a hormone your body already makes after you eat. They help you feel full sooner, stay full longer, and reduce cravings — while also improving how your body handles blood sugar. Originally developed for type 2 diabetes, GLP-1s have become one of the most effective tools available for sustained, clinically meaningful weight loss. They are taken as a once-weekly injection using a small, simple pen — not unlike an insulin pen.

The medications, explained
Plain-English summaries of what each option is and how it works. Your provider will recommend what's right for you.
Semaglutide
Also known as: Ozempic, Wegovy
A once-weekly injection that activates your GLP-1 receptors to reduce appetite and slow stomach emptying. Ozempic is FDA-approved for type 2 diabetes; Wegovy is the same molecule approved specifically for weight loss. In trials, patients lost an average of 15% of their body weight over about a year.
Tirzepatide
Also known as: Mounjaro, Zepbound
A once-weekly injection that acts on two appetite hormones (GIP and GLP-1) instead of just one. Mounjaro is approved for type 2 diabetes; Zepbound is the same molecule approved for weight loss. Trials have shown average weight loss of up to ~22% — among the strongest results seen with medication alone.
Compounded semaglutide
A more affordable, custom-prepared version of semaglutide made by a licensed US compounding pharmacy. Prescribed only when clinically appropriate. Same active ingredient, similar dosing schedule.
Compounded tirzepatide
A custom-prepared version of tirzepatide from a licensed US compounding pharmacy. Often used as a lower-cost path while still benefiting from the dual-action mechanism. Prescribed only where clinically appropriate.

Common questions
Am I a candidate for a GLP-1 medication?
Most adults with a BMI of 27+ (with a weight-related condition) or 30+ qualify. Your Norven provider reviews your intake, medical history, and goals to confirm what's appropriate and safe for you.
What's the difference between Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro and Zepbound?
Ozempic and Wegovy are both semaglutide — Ozempic is FDA-approved for diabetes, Wegovy for weight loss. Mounjaro and Zepbound are both tirzepatide — Mounjaro for diabetes, Zepbound for weight loss. The active ingredients are the same; the brand name reflects what the FDA approved it for.
Are the compounded versions safe?
We only work with licensed, US-based 503A and 503B compounding pharmacies that meet strict quality standards. Compounded GLP-1s contain the same active ingredient as the brand versions and are prescribed only when clinically appropriate.
What side effects should I expect?
The most common side effects are mild nausea, constipation, or reflux, especially in the first few weeks. They usually fade as your body adjusts. Your provider will guide dose increases slowly to minimize them.
How quickly will I see results?
Most patients begin noticing changes within 4–8 weeks. Healthy, sustainable weight loss is gradual — we'll track progress together and adjust as needed.
What happens if I stop taking it?
GLP-1s work while you're taking them. Many patients stay on a maintenance dose long-term; others taper off with lifestyle support. Your provider helps you decide the right plan.
