GLP-1 Medications and How They Work
GLP-1 medications, including Semaglutide and Tirzepatide, are prescription treatments designed to assist with weight loss. They function by mimicking the effects of the hormone GLP-1, which regulates appetite and food consumption. By activating GLP-1 receptors, these medications help control hunger, leading to reduced calorie intake and more effective weight management. Administered as weekly injections, GLP-1 treatments are best used alongside a balanced diet and regular exercise to promote sustainable weight loss. Proven effective, they help individuals achieve their weight loss goals by curbing excessive hunger and encouraging healthier eating habits.
What can GLP-1 medications treat?
GLP-1 medications primarily target weight management and obesity. They are particularly beneficial for individuals facing weight-related health issues or those who have struggled with other weight loss methods. Key benefits include:
- Significant weight reduction
- Improved appetite control
- Enhanced metabolic function
- Reduced risk of obesity-related diseases
This treatment is ideal for those seeking a medically supervised approach to achieving and maintaining a healthier weight, with professional guidance and support throughout the process.

Treatment FAQs
GLP-1 treatments, such as Semaglutide and Tirzepatide, are used to help control blood sugar levels in individuals with type 2 diabetes and can also aid in weight management.
These treatments work by mimicking the action of the GLP-1 hormone, which enhances insulin secretion, reduces appetite, and slows down gastric emptying to help manage blood sugar levels.
Common side effects may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and decreased appetite. These typically subside as the body adjusts to the treatment.
The dosing schedule varies; Semaglutide is usually administered once a week, while Tirzepatide dosing can differ based on individual needs and Dr. Irshad's recommendation.
