Questions for GLP-1 / GIP Prescription Incretins (Semaglutide, Tirzepatide)
Bring this list to your appointment so your physician can consider it alongside your medical history, laboratory results, and current medications.
- Am I an appropriate clinical candidate for a prescription GLP-1 or dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist based on my BMI, metabolic panels, and cardiovascular history?
- Do I have any personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC), multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN 2), or pancreatitis that contraindicates treatment?
- What baseline renal function (eGFR/creatinine) and lipid blood tests do you recommend before initiating therapy?
- What is the recommended gradual titration schedule to minimize gastrointestinal adverse effects (such as nausea and reflux)?
- What specific clinical signs of acute pancreatitis or gallbladder inflammation should prompt immediate medical attention?
- If I am taking oral medications (such as oral contraceptives or blood pressure drugs), how will delayed gastric emptying impact their absorption?
