Common step therapy requirements include trying metformin first (if type 2 diabetes is present), trialing a GLP-1 single-agonist like semaglutide (Ozempic or Wegovy) before moving to the dual-agonist tirzepatide, and documenting inadequate response or intolerable side effects on the prior medication
Semaglutide is sold as Ozempic, Wegovy, and Rybelsus
Personalized GLP-1 Therapy for Weight Loss with Thyroid Disease PlexusDx offers semaglutide injection at $189/mo month-to-month, or from $149/mo on the 6-month plan as a flat-rate medication, meaning your dose may increase as your body responds to treatment, but your price remains stable
