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:
