Semaglutide Littleton CO and Arvada CO patients are seeking — and Altitude Family & Internal Medicine is one of the area’s trusted physician-led sources for GLP-1 weight loss therapy. Our doctors prescribe, manage, and monitor semaglutide and tirzepatide for qualified patients at both our Colorado locations.
What Is Semaglutide?
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist — a medication that mimics a naturally occurring hormone that regulates appetite and blood sugar. Originally developed for type 2 diabetes management, semaglutide was found to produce remarkable weight loss results and is now FDA-approved for chronic weight management under the brand name Wegovy®. Patients using semaglutide under physician supervision report significantly reduced appetite, fewer cravings, and sustained weight loss over time.
GLP-1 Medications We Prescribe in Littleton CO and Arvada CO
Our physicians are experienced in prescribing and managing the full range of GLP-1 therapies:
- Semaglutide — Wegovy® (weight loss) / Ozempic® (type 2 diabetes)
- Tirzepatide — Zepbound® (weight loss) / Mounjaro® (type 2 diabetes)
- Compounded semaglutide (where clinically appropriate and legally available)
What to Expect with GLP-1 Therapy
GLP-1 therapy is not a quick fix — it’s a medically supervised treatment that works best when combined with nutritional guidance and lifestyle support. Here’s what our process looks like:
- Initial consultation & comprehensive health evaluation
- Physician assessment of candidacy based on BMI, health history, and goals
- Personalized dosing plan with gradual titration
- Ongoing monitoring of weight, labs, and side effects
- Dose adjustments as needed for optimal results
- Insurance prior authorization assistance
- Nutritional & lifestyle counseling throughout
Am I a Candidate for Semaglutide?
GLP-1 therapy may be appropriate if you have a BMI of 30 or higher, or a BMI of 27 or higher with a weight-related health condition such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, or high cholesterol. Semaglutide is not appropriate for everyone — a physician consultation is required to review your health history, current medications, and any contraindications. Our doctors will give you an honest assessment of whether this treatment is right for you.
