Weight loss can be hard!

​

Are you dieting and exercising and still not losing any weight? For some people it may be more difficult, and thats where medication assisted weight loss therapies comes into play! 

​

​

WHAT IS MEDICATION ASSISTED WEIGHT LOSS?

​

Medication-assisted weight loss therapies refer to the use of prescription medications, in combination with lifestyle modifications, to help individuals lose weight. These medications work by suppressing appetite, increasing metabolism, or reducing the absorption of fat in the body.

​

​

SOME OF THE MOST COMMONLY USED WEIGHT LOSS INJECTABLES.

​

Liraglutide: This medication is an injectable medication that works by mimicking the effects of a hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) in the body. GLP-1 helps to regulate blood sugar levels and reduce appetite. Liraglutide works by slowing down digestion and increasing feelings of fullness. It is generally prescribed for long-term use in individuals with obesity or overweight who have other weight-related health conditions, such as type 2 diabetes.

 

Semaglutide: This medication is a once-weekly injection that works by mimicking the effects of GLP-1, a hormone that regulates blood sugar levels and reduces appetite. Semaglutide helps to slow down digestion, increase feelings of fullness, and reduce calorie intake. It has been shown to be effective in helping individuals with obesity or overweight achieve significant weight loss. Semaglutide has an average reduction in body weight of 5-10 percent.

​

Tirzepatide: This medication is a once-weekly injection that combines two hormones, GLP-1 and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP), that work together to regulate blood sugar levels and reduce appetite. Tirzepatide helps to slow down digestion, increase feelings of fullness, and reduce calorie intake. It has been shown to be effective in helping individuals with obesity or overweight achieve significant weight loss, with some studies reporting up to 15% weight loss.

​

 

The most common side effects of weight loss medications can vary depending on the medication. However, some of the most common side effects of weight loss medications include:

1. Nausea: Nausea is a common side effect of many weight loss medications, and can occur because these medications can affect the digestive system.

2. Constipation or diarrhea: Changes in bowel habits are a common side effect of weight loss medications and can occur because these medications can affect the digestive system.

You may experience these effects more strongly when your dose is increased. Smaller portions of food may help with this!
