GLP-1 and GLP-1/GIP Agonist Medications

Options: Semaglutide, Tirzepatide

What are GLP-1 and GLP-1/GIP Agonists?

GLP-1 agonist medications lower blood sugar levels and promote weight loss. Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are FDA-approved options for weight loss.

  • Semaglutide: Approved for weight loss.

  • Tirzepatide: Initially approved for diabetes management, now also approved for weight loss.

These medications are injectable, administered with a needle and syringe under the skin in the abdomen or outer thigh.

How GLP-1 Agonists Work

GLP-1 is a hormone that triggers insulin release from the pancreas, lowering blood sugar levels. It also:

  • Blocks glucagon secretion, reducing blood sugar levels.

  • Slows stomach emptying, reducing sugar release from food.

  • Increases fullness, reducing hunger.

These medications mimic the actions of the GLP-1 hormone, promoting weight loss.

Treatment and Support

Effective weight loss management often includes exercise and dietary changes along with GLP-1 agonists. Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are once-weekly injectable medications. At Amanecia Health, we provide:

  • An initial in-person or telehealth intake appointment.

  • Monthly telehealth check-ins to monitor progress.

  • Optional home visits if needed, discussed during your intake.
