What Patients Should Ask Before Starting Treatment Before starting semaglutide, tirzepatide, or any medical weight loss medication, patients should ask whether they are medically appropriate for the medication, which option fits their health history, what side effects to watch for, what dose strategy will be used, what labs should be checked, how blood sugar, liver, kidney, and cardiovascular risk will be monitored, how muscle mass will be protected, what nutrition changes are needed, what happens if they hit a plateau, and whether the medication is coming from a legitimate, licensed pharmacy
