GLP-1 medications such as Wegovy, Ozempic, and Rybelsus can assist in weight loss and long-term weight maintenance. By slowing down stomach emptying, these medications help you feel full with less food, leading to consuming fewer calories without feeling deprived. They also reduce appetite, signal to your brain when you're full, and decrease cravings, enabling you to make healthier food choices that align with your weight loss objectives.

Controlling hunger and reducing appetite may lead to side effects like nausea, diarrhea, indigestion, and headaches.
Mounjaro : (tirzepatide)
Mounjaro is focusing on two hunger hormone receptors, GIP and GLP-1, with their medication tirzepatide. This medication has demonstrated an impressive average weight loss of 22.5%. Like other GLP-1 medications, tirzepatide from Mounjaro is a once-weekly injectable medication that helps regulate blood sugar levels and may assist in weight loss. What makes tirzepatide unique is its ability to target GIP receptors as well. GIP hormones play a role in insulin release after meals, but they also stimulate glucagon secretion when blood sugar levels decrease. By managing these processes, tirzepatide has the potential to enhance weight loss beyond what GLP-1 medications can achieve alone.
