What Are Weight Loss Shots?

Weight loss shots in San Diego at Moradi MD refer to GLP-1 medications, a class of injectable treatments that help regulate appetite, enhance satiety, and reduce caloric intake. These injections mimic naturally occurring hormones—such as glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP)—which support insulin function, blood sugar regulation, and hunger signaling. The result: you feel fuller longer, eat less, and burn fat more efficiently.

Weight Loss Shots Recovery and Results

Because weight loss injections are non-invasive, there’s no recovery time. Most patients can return to daily activities immediately after treatment. Mild side effects such as nausea or digestive changes may occur but usually resolve as your body adjusts. Visible improvements typically begin within the first few weeks, with continued progress over time.

Weight Loss Shots FAQ

Are GLP-1 weight loss injections safe for patients with thyroid conditions?

How do these shots affect nutrient absorption?

Can these medications be used long-term?

Do the injections impact fertility or reproductive health?

What are the risks and potential side effects of GLP-1 injections?

What is the difference between GLP-1 injections and compounded versions of weight loss shots?

Compounded versions may not undergo the same rigorous FDA approval process as branded medications like Wegovy or Zepbound. We recommend using only FDA-approved medications for safety and consistent results.

Can GLP-1 medications affect mental health or mood?

While rare, some users report changes in mood or emotional sensitivity. We closely monitor mental wellness during treatment and encourage you to share any emotional shifts with our team.

Are GLP-1 weight loss injections safe for patients with thyroid conditions?

GLP-1 injections may not be suitable for individuals with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2. We evaluate thyroid health as part of your consultation.

How do these shots affect nutrient absorption?

Though GLP-1 injections slow digestion, they do not impair nutrient absorption. However, some patients may benefit from vitamin supplements like B12 to optimize overall wellness.

Can these medications be used long-term?

Yes, GLP-1 therapies can be used long-term under physician supervision. Long-term use may require periodic reevaluation to assess benefits, side effects, and any need for dosage adjustments.

Do the injections impact fertility or reproductive health?

There’s limited evidence suggesting GLP-1 medications may improve insulin sensitivity and ovulation in some women with PCOS. However, individuals trying to conceive should discuss risks and timing with our team.

What are the risks and potential side effects of GLP-1 injections?

Common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, constipation, and bloating. Rare but serious risks include pancreatitis, gallbladder issues, and kidney problems. We conduct thorough screenings to minimize risk.

Is it safe to consume alcohol while receiving weight loss injections?

Moderate alcohol use is generally safe, but excessive intake may interfere with weight loss and blood sugar control. We provide personalized lifestyle guidelines tailored to your goals.
