It is important to note that weight loss medications  should be used in conjunction with diet, exercise, and lifestyle changes. Also, these medications have potential side effects and should be used under the supervision of a healthcare provider.

Ozempic (Semaglutide) also belongs to a class of drugs called GLP-1 receptor agonists. It is used in diabetes type two for better blood sugar control. It has gained popularity in recent months and more people are using it for weight loss with success. Ozempic is typically taken once a week, by injection under the skin, and it’s often used in combination with other diabetes medications such as metformin. It works by mimicking the action of a hormone called GLP-1, which is produced naturally in the body and helps to regulate the release of insulin. When GLP-1 levels are high, insulin is released in response to rising blood sugar levels after a meal, and the liver produces less glucose. This helps to lower blood sugar levels and reduce the risk of long-term complications of diabetes.

Mounjaro (Tirzepatide) is a unique medication that acts on two types of receptors, the glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and the glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptors. It is the first dual agonist for these receptors, meaning it has the ability to stimulate both types of receptors.

Phentermine (brand name Qsymia) – This medication is a combination of two drugs: phentermine, an appetite suppressant, and topiramate, an anticonvulsant that also reduces appetite. It is usually prescribed to individuals who have a BMI of 30 or higher, or a BMI of 27 or higher with a weight-related health condition such as high blood pressure or diabetes.
