// Common questions

Frequently asked questions.

Is semaglutide the same as Ozempic or Wegovy?

Yes. Ozempic and Wegovy are brand names for semaglutide. Ozempic is approved for type 2 diabetes management; Wegovy is approved specifically for chronic weight management at higher doses. Dr. Sleiman prescribes the appropriate formulation and dose for your clinical situation — not necessarily the name you've seen advertised.

Can I get a prescription on my first visit?

Usually yes — if your baseline labs are already available and you have no contraindications. If labs are not yet done, Dr. Sleiman will order them at your first visit and the prescription typically follows within a few business days after results are reviewed.

Does insurance cover semaglutide or tirzepatide?

Coverage varies significantly. Many insurance plans cover Ozempic for type 2 diabetes but have limited coverage for weight loss use (Wegovy). Zepbound (tirzepatide for weight loss) has broader coverage than it did in 2023. Dr. Sleiman's team will help you navigate the coverage landscape before your prescription is submitted.

What happens when I stop the medication?

Weight regain is common after stopping GLP-1 therapy without a plan. That is why Clinic 45 builds an exit strategy into every program from the beginning — not as an afterthought at the end. The exit plan includes a taper schedule and a metabolic maintenance protocol designed to hold as much of the loss as possible.

How is Clinic 45 different from a telehealth GLP-1 service?

In-person evaluation, personal lab review, monthly in-person monitoring, and Dr. Sleiman's direct phone availability between visits. Telehealth services dispense prescriptions efficiently — Clinic 45 provides clinical medicine. If your goal is the lowest-friction path to a prescription, telehealth is faster. If your goal is the best clinical outcome, you need a physician who is actually watching.

Are B12 and IV hydration sessions stand-alone appointments?

Yes. B12 injections and IV hydration sessions can be booked independently without being enrolled in a weight loss program. Walk-in availability exists for B12. IV sessions should be booked in advance.

The first consultation is the most important one.

Choose a program after meeting Dr. Sleiman — not before. The right tier depends on your labs, your timeline, and your goals. Start with the conversation.
