Indiana Medical Weight Loss

Welcome to a new era of weight management, where convenience meets expertise. At the Shot Spot, we believe your journey towards a healthier you should be as unique as you are. That’s why we offer personalized medical weight loss programs designed and guided by trusted, local Nurse Practitioners.

What is Medical Weight Loss?

Medical weight loss involves a weight-reduction plan that includes diet, exercise, and, when appropriate, weight-loss medication. Your progress and wellness are supervised by a healthcare professional who will adjust the recommendations and dosages according to your unique goals and progress.

Medical weight loss programs often provide patients with better outcomes than those who attempt weight reduction on their own. Participants not only lose more weight but also sustain their success for longer, making these programs a more effective solution for long-term weight management.

The Benefits of Working with The Shot Spot for Medical Weight Loss

The Shot Spot offers a comprehensive approach to medical weight loss that plays a significant role in helping our patients achieve remarkable results.

No Office Visits Needed

We get it. Life is busy. You may not have time to come into the office once a month. You’re looking for convenience in addition to quality care. We got you. Our services are available to all Indiana residents entirely through telehealth visits. All you need is your phone!

Local, Trusted Nurse Practitioners in Your Community

Unlike the cold, impersonal experience you get with some national weight loss providers, at The Shot Spot, you’ll work with a team of local, community-focused Nurse Practitioners who are passionate about listening to your concerns and understanding your unique needs.

Transparent Pricing, no Surprises

Our prices are listed plainly on our website for all to see. We believe in being honest and transparent with our patients right from the start.

Medications from Trusted, Licensed Compounding Pharmacies

What makes our program truly unique is our association with accredited, vetted, and safe compounding pharmacies. Unlike regular pharmacies, compounding pharmacies specialize in creating customized medications. This means your weight loss medication is tailored to your specific needs, ensuring maximum effectiveness and safety. By working with trusted suppliers, we can quickly and affordably deliver your medications straight to your door.

We Prioritize Safe, Affordable Medications

The Shot Spot currently offers Semaglutide and Tirzepatide injections for weight loss.

What About Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro?

Semaglutide is the active ingredient in both Ozempic and Wegovy. Tirzepatide is the active ingredient in Mounjaro. By offering Semaglutide and Tirzepatide in compounded form, we can give our patients greater flexibility in dosing and much lower prices when compared to the name brands.

Why We Don’t Offer Phentermine

While Phentermine is a common weight loss drug, it comes with a range of potential side effects, including increased heart rate, high blood pressure, and sleep problems. As a controlled substance with a chemical structure similar to amphetamine, Phentermine also has a risk of addiction and dependence. It is not intended for long-term use.

At The Shot Spot, your health is our priority. That’s why we’ve chosen to provide safer, more effective alternatives to help you reach your weight loss goals.

How to Inject

Injecting weight loss medication at home might seem daunting, but we make it simple. Below are the basic steps for at-home weight loss injections. Consult with your provider if you have questions or concerns about how to administer your shots.

1. Wash Up: This is an important step to prevent infection. Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water, or use sanitizer gel. Clean any work area or table where you plan to administer the shot or place your supplies.
2. Assemble Your Supplies: You will need your medication vial, a sterile syringe, an alcohol swab, gauze, and a puncture-resistant container to dispose of your syringe.
3. Do a Safety Check: Check the expiration date on the vial and verify it is not expired. Examine the syringe packaging, and do not use the syringe or needle if the package has been opened or damaged.
4. Draw Up the Medication: Remove the seal from the vial and wipe the top with an alcohol swab. With the vial sitting flat on your work surface, insert the needle, then turn them both upside down, and pull back the stopper on the syringe to draw up the correct dosage of medication. Tap the syringe to force air bubbles to the top near the needle, then push gently until the air bubbles have been forced out of the syringe.
5. Prepare the Injection Site: Use the alcohol swab to clean the area where you’ll inject the medication. Allow skin to dry. Suitable injection sites include either side of the stomach, the back of the arm, or the thigh – always two inches from the belly button. Do not inject the medication into areas that are burned, swollen, irritated, or bruised.
6. Subcutaneous Injection: Pinch and hold the cleaned injection site to create a firm surface. Insert the needle at a 90-degree angle. Push the plunger rod slowly until it reaches the bottom. Release the pinched skin, then remove the needle.
7. Post-Injection Care: Discard the syringe and needle in a sharps (aka puncture-resistant) container. Rotate your injection sites each time to avoid skin irritation.

Safety Precautions

Always check your medication before use. If the liquid is cloudy, discolored, or contains particles, discard it and contact your pharmacy immediately. Store your medication in the refrigerator between doses and keep it out of reach of children.
