What is Medical Weight Loss?
Medical weight loss uses prescription GLP-1 or GLP-1/GIP medications — primarily semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy) and tirzepatide (Mounjaro, Zepbound) — to regulate appetite, slow digestion, and produce clinically significant weight loss. Most patients lose 15% to 20% of body weight over 6 to 12 months.
Treatment involves weekly subcutaneous injections at home. Initial consultation typically includes bloodwork, BMI calculation, and a review of your goals and medical history. Dose escalation is gradual — most patients start at a low dose and increase every 4 weeks to minimize side effects (nausea, fatigue, constipation).
Medical weight loss is priced monthly, and most providers bundle the medication, injection supplies, provider check-ins, and labs into the monthly fee. Compounded versions of semaglutide and tirzepatide are often significantly cheaper than brand-name Ozempic or Mounjaro.
How much does Medical Weight Loss cost in Boston?
Medical weight loss in Boston typically costs $360 to $1,440 per month depending on the drug, brand vs compounded formulation, and whether labs are included. Brand-name Ozempic and Mounjaro cost more than compounded alternatives.

What to ask your provider
- Do you prescribe semaglutide, tirzepatide, or both? Which do you recommend for me?
- Do you offer compounded or brand-name medications? What is the price and safety difference?
- What is included in the monthly fee — medication, supplies, labs, provider visits?
- Who is my prescribing provider — an MD, NP, or PA? How many weight loss patients do they manage?
- What is the dose-escalation schedule? How do you handle side effects?
- What happens when I hit my goal weight — is there a maintenance dose plan?
Frequently asked questions
How much does medical weight loss cost in Boston?
Medical weight loss in Boston typically costs $300 to $1,200 per month. Compounded semaglutide runs $300 to $500/month, compounded tirzepatide $400 to $700/month. Brand Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, and Zepbound run $900 to $1,200/month without insurance.
Semaglutide vs tirzepatide — which should I choose?
Both work by regulating appetite and slowing digestion. Tirzepatide (Mounjaro, Zepbound) tends to produce slightly more weight loss in clinical trials (20-22% vs 15-17% for semaglutide). Tirzepatide can also have milder GI side effects for some patients. Your provider should recommend based on your medical history, budget, and goals.
Is compounded semaglutide safe?
Compounded semaglutide is made by licensed compounding pharmacies when the brand-name drug is in shortage. It can be safe when obtained from reputable, state-licensed pharmacies. Avoid online marketplaces with vague sourcing. Always ask your provider where their pharmacy sources compounded drugs.
What are the side effects of GLP-1 medications?
Common side effects include nausea, fatigue, constipation, and decreased appetite — usually strongest at the start and after each dose increase. Serious but rare side effects include pancreatitis and gallbladder issues. Your provider should monitor you closely with regular check-ins and labs.
How long do I stay on GLP-1 medications?
Most patients stay on medication for 6 to 12 months to reach their goal weight, then transition to a maintenance dose. Stopping entirely often leads to weight regain unless significant lifestyle changes are in place. Plan this with your provider — medical weight loss is usually long-term.
