FAQs

What are weight loss injections?

Originally developed to treat Type 2 diabetes, the GLP-1 medications were found to have an “interesting” side-effect: significant weight loss. This unexpected benefit led to further research and FDA approval for the use of Ozempic (as Wegovy) and Mounjaro (as Zepbound) in obesity and overweight management. The active ingredients in these medications are Semaglutide and Tirzepatide.

How are they administered?

These medications are primarily administered as injections, using small needles that are placed superficially into fatty areas of the body. They interact with cell receptors in the pancreas, gastrointestinal tract, and other parts of the body. These medications are modified versions of peptide molecules that closely resemble structures produced by our bodies. They can delay the processing and emptying of food from the stomach, leading to feelings of early and long-lasting fullness after meals. They also influence brain centers to regulate and reduce cravings, which can help patients manage stress-eating and reward-eating behaviors.

How do they work?

The active agents in these injections mimic the effect of GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1), a hormone that plays a vital role in appetite regulation and glucose metabolism. Here’s how they facilitate weight loss:

  • Gastric Delay: By slowing down gastric emptying, these injections help you feel fuller longer after meals, reducing the urge to overeat.
  • Appetite Suppression: They increase satiety and decrease hunger through direct action on the appetite centers in the brain, leading to a lower caloric intake.
  • Blood Sugar Control: By inhibiting the release of glucagon — a hormone that raises blood glucose levels — these injections help stabilize blood sugar levels, which is especially beneficial for individuals with type 2 diabetes.
