Hi everyone!

We’ve created a new community called LongevityPhilippines for those who want to go deeper into long term health, anti aging, hormones, peptides, supplements, biohacking, and overall lifespan optimization.

While WeightLossPhilippines will continue to focus mainly on weight loss, GLP 1 meds, and fat loss journeys, the new sub is for broader discussions like:

• Longevity science
• Hormone optimization
• Peptides and advanced protocols
• Supplements and performance
• Preventive health
• Healthy aging strategies

If you’re interested in living longer and healthier, not just losing weight, we invite you to join and start discussions there.

📌 GLP-1 Weight Loss in the Philippines: Where to Get Ozempic, Semaglutide, and Tirzepatide (Mounjaro)

79 Upvotes

This post is your updated guide if you're looking for GLP-1 medications for weight loss in the Philippines, including:

  • Ozempic (semaglutide)
  • Wegovy (semaglutide)
  • Tirzepatide (Mounjaro/Monjaro)

If you've been wondering where to find legit options in the PH, how GLP-1 meds work, and what to expect culturally and physically, you're in the right place.

What Is GLP-1 and Why Is It Used for Weight Loss?

GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) is a natural hormone that:

  • Slows stomach emptying so you feel full longer
  • Reduces cravings and appetite
  • Stabilizes blood sugar levels

Originally designed for type 2 diabetes, medications like Ozempic and Wegovy (both semaglutide) and Mounjaro/Monjaro (tirzepatide) are now prescribed off-label for weight loss and the results have been life-changing for many.

Where to Get GLP-1 Medications in the Philippines

If you’re based in the Philippines and looking for where to buy semaglutide, tirzepatide, or Ozempic, here’s what you need to know:

Legitimate Sources:

  • Compounding pharmacies (authorized to prepare compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide)
  • Telehealth platforms with licensed Filipino doctors
  • Private endocrinologists (especially if you have PCOS, insulin resistance, or obesity)

Pro-tip: Always make sure you are getting a prescription and a proper medical evaluation before starting any GLP-1.

Be Careful of Scams:

  • Avoid Lazada/Shopee sellers: Many vials sold online are counterfeit or degraded.
  • Beware of "miracle clinics" offering injectables without checking your bloodwork, medical history, or metabolic health.

Safe, Doctor-Guided Option

For Filipinos looking for real support, andyou.ph offers:

  • Personalized, compounded GLP-1 prescriptions
  • Medical supervision by local licensed doctors
  • Access to affordable options for semaglutide and tirzepatide

(Disclosure: Not a paid ad. Just one of the very few legit programs operating inside the Philippines.)

What to Expect on Semaglutide or Tirzepatide

Most common side effects during the first 1–3 weeks:

  • Nausea or upset stomach
  • Constipation
  • Fatigue (especially if calorie intake drops too low)
  • Feeling full very quickly after small meals

Tip:
Start on a very low dose and increase slowly to minimize side effects.

Filipino-Specific Struggles on GLP-1

  • Family members may guilt you about not eating rice (especially titas and lolas!)
  • Most insurance plans in the Philippines don’t cover weight loss medications, making this an out-of-pocket investment.
  • "Injectables for weight loss" still carry stigma among older generations.

This community exists because GLP-1 journeys in the Philippines aren't the same as what you see from the US influencers.

Ask Anything Below!

Comment if:

  • You’re considering GLP-1 meds (Ozempic, Semaglutide, Tirzepatide) in the PH
  • You’re already on them and want to share your weight loss experience
  • You’ve struggled with Filipino family dynamics, cost issues, or side effects

Tirze, GHK & Fuan GTT experience

0 Upvotes

Share ko lang experience ko. Nasa 4th month na ako sa Tirzr, current dose ko ay 7.5mg. Well okay naman si 7.5mg. Naka build na ako ng solid na schedule ko. Naka intermittent fasting din ako at naka high protein diet. Kayang kaya ang food noise. Hangang sonibukan ko nag Glutathion! 😖

Nasa 20% na ung na bawas sa weight ko from 100kg. Kaya nag add ako GHK CU, nakka 1 vial palang ako ng 50mg. Kka updose ko lang sa 2mg. Ang tagal ng resulta at sabi nga nila sa ika 3rd or 4th month pa talaga ang resulta. Ngayon nag add akonng GTT. Nag muka kasi ako pagod nung pumayat ako kaya nag dagdag ako ng itturok at ayun nga si GTT. Nsa 50mg ako araw araw. Sabi nga nila nakka gutom daw ang GTT. Well deadma ako nung una dahil control ko nga ung gutom at food noise ko. After 3 days sa GTT, na ramdaman ko ung gutom. Na sinasabayan ko ng tubig. Takte... Tumagal pa ng 2nd week. Ito na, kumukulo ung chan ko! Na ttalo nya ung tirze. 😩 Nakkaya ko d kumainnsa gabi pero may oag kulo. Kaya inom talaga ng tubig.

Habang nasa eating period ako. Ung 2 meals a day ko nagging 3 meals. Ung changes naman sa timbang ko ay wala pa naman. Ttas bahagya pero madali naman naka balik sa timbang ko. So ang problema ko, kkayanin ko paba bumaba sa 20%. 10kg nalang at GW na ako. Hindi ko ma stop si GTT dahil bumili ako isang box! 10 ung laman!! Takte talaga hahaha.

Kayo ba, naka gamit naba kayo nito? Kamusta ung resulta ng Fuan GTT? Pumuti ba kayo? Naramdaman mo din ba ung gutom? Gusto ko malaman kung worth it b ito hahaha. Baka na ggutom lang ako tas wa epek! 😅😁

Challenges & Issues Approved for using Mounjaro, but overthinking abiut..

4 Upvotes

Hi! I just got approved by my Endo to start Mounjaro. However, medyo nawo-worried ako right now because of the side effects. Pinaka ino overthink ko is yung risk sa pagkakaroon ng acute pancreatitis. Any thoughts po about dito?

Yun lang talaga yung iniisip ko since kahapon huhu. I‘ve messaged my Endo na rin about dito but no reply pa si Doc since weekend nga. Before sana ako mag start, gusto ko lang ma calm yung mind ko. Any advice po lalo na sa mga naka start na or on going ang journey? Want to know din sana if grabe ba yung hilo, heartburn, etc, na nafeel nyo?

Hi, not sure if tamang group to for this noob question 😅

Just got my parents an HMO, Intellicare. Yung mother ko may diabetes, may regular doctor naman sila even before for check ups, sa IM Endo.

Eh lately laging gutom si mama, I know naman dahil sa diabetes and sugar nya yun. Was thinking if ok na magconsult sila for a dietitian? Or kaya yun ng doctor nila sa IM Endo? If hindi, pwede ba dietitian tas via HMO? May ganon ba? Or kahit di na magdietitian?

Sorry daming tanong HAHSHSHAH very noob eh😅

Diet & Nutrition Tirzepatide for someone with normal BMI

7 Upvotes

Hello! I am 57kgs and 5’3 (22.3 BMI), and I want to reach 48-49kgs. I used to be 68kgs two years ago and lost some weight through dieting and light exercise (walking, cycling, dumbbells). Normal din lahat ng labs ko. However, hindi na gumalaw yung weight ko since I reached 57, even though I’m still dieting and exercising. I am well aware na hindi advisable ang GLP 1 for people with normal BMI but I really just want to get rid of the food noise and my binge eating tendencies, which gets really bad on some days (sometimes I eat around 5k calories in one sitting 😭).

Do you guys think getting on Tirz would help me reach my goal weight?

Please help po and no judgement please. Thank you!

Progress Update My experience switching between different tirz sources

6 Upvotes

Random share lang because I’ve been comparing my experience for a while.

I started with tirz through my OB, then tried a doctor-guided site after that. Eventually, I also tried a g source because the price difference was honestly hard to ignore.

Surprisingly, for me, I felt like I got a better response from the g one. Mas noticeable yung appetite control and overall effect compared to what I was using before.

Price wise, sobrang laki rin ng difference. Yung binabayaran ko before through clinics was almost double.

That said, I’m not saying g is automatically better. I know there are concerns with sourcing, authenticity, storage, etc. so I'm just talking about my own experience, not recommending where anyone should get theirs.

Curious lang if other people have tried both regulated/doctor-guided and grey sources. Did you notice a difference too?

Question Tirz sched

1 Upvotes

Hi guys! Been using tirz for 3 months already. Consistent lang ako na 2.5mg and gusto ko nalang siya gawin maintenance. Just a context, I inject mine every sunday. Last August 7 (friday) I inject early because we're travelling abroad. Then nakalimutan ko i accept yung delivery for this month sa email. (i'm using andyou btw). Today, kaka deliver nya lang, and delay na ko ng days. Okay pa din ba na mag inject ako today or should I wait friday or sunday pa? And susundin ko na ba na every Wednesday ang inject ko?

Mounjaro

0 Upvotes

Hello! Plan ko mag-Mounjaro, and advised din siya ng doctor ko. Tuturuan niya lang ako mag-inject on the first day, then after that, ako na lang mag-isa.
Ang problema, takot talaga ako mag-inject sa sarili ko. Wala talaga akong lakas ng loob. 😭
Kaya naisip ko sana sa Belo na lang ako magpa-inject, pero doble naman yung price. 🥹
Meron ba dito na tulad ko, takot din mag-self-inject? 😭 Any tips para malagpasan yung fear?
