Semaglutide
Originally a medicine to help manage and treat type 2 diabetes, semaglutide has seen new life as an effective medication for weight loss.
Tirzepatide
Tirzepatide had a similar start to semaglutide, being originally designed as a medication for diabetes. Now, it’s used for medical weight loss and to treat sleep apnea.
What is Semaglutide?
Semaglutide was originally designed to treat and manage type 2 diabetes. 💉🩺 Over time, it was discovered that semaglutide also works as an effective prescription medication for weight loss and management. 📉⚖️ Typically administered as a weekly injection, semaglutide helps reduce appetite, making it easier for patients to eat less and lose weight. 🍽️⬇️

What is Tirzepatide?
Tirzepatide is an FDA-approved drug that helps treat obesity and supports weight management. ✅ It works as both a GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide) receptor and a GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) receptor agonist. 💉 This means that when injected, it activates specific receptors and proteins in the body to reduce food cravings and help people feel full longer.
Originally developed for diabetes management, tirzepatide was also found to regulate appetite, making it easier for people to lose weight and improve metabolic health. 🔥

What are GLP-1 Inhibitors?
GLP-1 inhibitors are a class of medication traditionally used to help manage blood sugar levels for people with type 2 diabetes. 💉 Over time, these medications were also found to be effective in treating obesity. ⚖️ GLP-1s work by slowing digestion, which decreases the amount of sugar released into the bloodstream. 🍽️ This process not only helps regulate blood sugar but also reduces appetite, making it easier to eat less and consume fewer calories. 🔥

Weight Loss Medications FAQs
What is the best drug for losing weight?
There is no one-size-fits-all solution for weight loss. Every person is different and will respond better to different medications. Semaglutide is considered to be the most effective currently, but some have found tirzepatide to be more effective. It's important to speak with a medical professional in order to determine which medication is best for you.
How much weight can I lose on semaglutide in a month?
The amount of weight people can lose depends on more than just the medication itself. A healthy diet and exercise routine will significantly help in weight loss when utilized alongside semaglutide. On average, though, people lose around 5-10% of their body weight over the course of several months.
How quickly do you lose weight on tirzepatide?
While tirzepatide begins working quickly, the first few doses will pass without significant changes being noticeable. Typically, patients don't notice a change in their weight level until the fourth week of treatment.
How do GLP-1s cause weight loss?
GLP-1 inhibitors assist in weight loss by suppressing a person's appetite and helping them to feel full longer. They also slow the movement of food through the stomach to reduce the amount of sugar being released into the body.
