Semaglutide/Tirzepatide

Semaglutide or Tirzepatide Weight Loss Injections

This once-weekly injection for chronic weight management may be the answer for adults who are overweight or obese and have at least one weight-related health condition.

Semaglutide, a Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), encourages the pancreas to release the right amount of insulin, slowing the body’s digestive rhythm, reducing appetite, and stabilizing blood sugar—all of which power the accomplishment of your medically-supported wellness goals without the expense of surgery or other invasive treatments.

Using Semaglutide or Tirzepatide to increase insulin secretion while slowing down gastric emptying, works in the following ways:

• Slowed digestion
• Reduced appetite
• Stabilized blood sugar & energy

A suppressed appetite means you feel full longer, which helps you eat less while losing weight.

What Is Semaglutide?

Semaglutide is the first approved drug for chronic weight management in obese or overweight adults as a weight loss program. Approximately 70% of American adults are obese or overweight, a severe health issue associated with heart disease, stroke, and diabetes, linked to an increased risk of certain types of cancer. Losing 5% to 10% of body weight through diet and exercise reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease, but diet and exercise alone are not always guaranteed to address the issue.

What is Tirzepatide?

Tirzepatide is a dual-action peptide that mimics two hormones, including GLP-1 and GIP.

It is used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and weight loss. By targeting both receptors, Tirzepatide enhances insulin secretion and reduces glucagon secretion in a glucose-dependent manner, contributing to improved glycemic control. In addition to its glucose-lowering effects, Tirzepatide has been associated with significant weight loss in clinical trials. Tirzepatide is administered once a week by subcutaneous injection.
