What is Semaglutide and Tizepatide?

Semaglutide:  This is a GLP-1 medication that simulate the natural hormone produced in the intestines that helps people feel full after they eat. It also increases insulin secretion (allowing cells to take up glucose) and inhibits glucagon secretion (preventing more glucose from being released into the bloodstream) lowering blood sugar levels.

GLP-1 also increase satiety (how full you feel) after eating which helps contribute to its weight loss properties.

Tirzepatide: This medication has a dual action that targets both the GLP-1 receptors and also GIP receptors which increase sensitivity of insulin in lipid cells. Tirzepatide can also affect the areas of the brain that control appetite and hunger, leading to reduced food intake and aiding in weight loss. Tirzepatide’s dual action as a GIP and GLP-1 differentiates it from similar medications like Semaglutide. Studies have found that Tirzepatide provides stronger weight loss effects with less adverse effects.

How are the weight loss medications given?

Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are given as once weekly injections. Dosing increase every 4 weeks.  Semaglutide is the same active ingredient in FDA-approved Wegovy and Ozempic. Tirzepatide is the same active ingredient in Mounjaro.

What are benefits of Semaglutide/Tirzepatide?

• Effective weight loss: Semaglutide and Tirzepatide injections for weight loss have demonstrated unprecedented success. Clinical studies have shown that GLP-1 medications leads to significant weight loss, with many patients experiencing a reduction of up to 15% of their body weight.
• Non-Surgical Option: Unlike invasive weight loss surgeries, GLP-1 injections offer a non-surgical and less invasive option for those seeking to lose weight and improve their overall health.
• Health Benefits: GLP-1 medication weight loss has been associated with improved cardiovascular health, better glycemic control and a reduced risk of obesity-related conditions such as hypertension and Type 2 diabetes.
