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.
  • Blood sugar balance: They help release insulin after you eat to keep blood sugar steady.
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.
  • Liraglutide (Saxenda): A daily GLP-1 option used for weight management. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
