How Weight Loss Medications Work
You have probably heard of semaglutide or Tirzepatide for weight loss. It is an FDA-approved and regulated weight loss medication.
It is in a class of drugs called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists. The GLP-1 injections for weight loss work by mimicking the GLP-1 protein that is naturally released from your gastrointestinal tract when you are eating. GLP-1 promotes insulin production to help reduce blood sugar levels. More importantly, for weight loss, it also interacts with areas in your brain to reduce your appetite and give you a feeling of fullness. Semaglutide can also slow down digestion so that your stomach will empty more slowly, which will help you stay satisfied longer.
