Weight loss medicine
Weight loss injections (such as Wegovy or Saxenda) mimic natural gut hormones like GLP-1 to signal fullness to the brain. They slow down stomach emptying and curb appetite, which helps you eat less food and lower your daily calorie intake. [1, 2, 3, 4]
Key Body Functions
- Appetite control: They target areas of the brain that manage hunger and food cravings.
- Slowed digestion: Food stays in your stomach longer, making you feel full fast.
Common Medications
- Semaglutide (Wegovy, Ozempic): Acts as a single GLP-1 hormone receptor agonist.
- Tirzepatide (Mounjaro, Zepbound): Targets both GLP-1 and GIP hormones for stronger appetite reduction.
