Semaglutide, found in Ozempic and Wegovy, mimics the GLP-1 hormone, which regulates blood sugar by boosting insulin and reducing glucagon. This injectable medication curbs cravings and promotes fullness, aiding weight loss. Tirzepatide, in Mounjaro and Zepbound, activates GLP-1 and GIP receptors for enhanced blood sugar control and weight loss. It’s also injectable and reduces appetite effectively.
Semaglutide targets GLP-1 receptors, while Tirzepatide activates both GLP-1 and GIP receptors for stronger, faster weight loss. Tirzepatide may also boost metabolism via GIP. Semaglutide uses a lower starting dose for a gradual approach.
We only prescribe Semaglutide and Tirzepatide for weight loss. However, it is also used to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes. Semaglutide is also being studied off-label for alcohol addiction and inflammatory conditions.
Semaglutide and Tirzepatide drive weight loss by:
- Boosting Fullness: They target GLP-1 receptors in the brain to reduce appetite.
- Slowing Digestion: They delay gastric emptying for longer satiety.
- Reducing Calories: Lower appetite decreases caloric intake.
- Adjusting Weight Set Point: They may lower the body’s natural weight range.
Side effects, often mild, may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, appetite loss, headaches, fatigue, or constipation. These may lessen over time, and we offer medications to manage them.
No, there is no evidence to suggest that Semaglutide or Tirzepatide is addictive. Semaglutide and Tirzepatide is not classified as addictive substances, nor do they have any known properties that would lead to addiction or dependence.
Weight loss is a complex process influenced by various factors, including genetics, lifestyle, and individual metabolism. For many people, maintaining weight loss over the long term can be challenging, regardless of the method used to achieve it – whether through lifestyle changes, medication, or other interventions.
When considering the use of Semaglutide or Tirzepatide for weight loss, it’s essential to work closely with a healthcare professional who can provide guidance and support throughout the weight loss journey. They can help design a comprehensive plan that includes not only the use of medication but also lifestyle changes, such as adopting a balanced diet, increasing physical activity, and establishing healthy habits.
Exceeding prescribed doses may cause severe nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, low blood sugar, dehydration, dizziness, rapid heart rate, or abdominal pain. Seek emergency care if overdose is suspected.
Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are safe with most medications, including appetite suppressants. Always share your full medication list with your provider.
Effects start within hours, reducing appetite and aiding digestion. Patients often lose about 10 pounds in the first month. We may adjust doses if appetite persists.
No strict restrictions exist, but we suggest:
- Regular Meals: Consistent timing stabilizes blood sugar.
- Balanced Diet: Eat fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats.
- Carbohydrate Control: Work with your provider on intake.
- Hydration: Drink ample water to avoid dehydration.
- Limit Alcohol: Reduce alcohol to prevent blood sugar issues.
