Medication Support for Weight Loss
Weight loss drugs allow you to:
- reduce feelings of constant hunger
- feel full faster
- reduce the amount of food you eat
- easier to tolerate calorie deficiency
- reduce the risk of overeating
This is a controlled medical tool, not a standalone method.
How GLP drugs work
GLP drugs affect appetite regulation and metabolic processes.
They:
- reduce pathological appetite
- affect satiety centers
- stabilize insulin levels
- improve tissue sensitivity to insulin
- reduce the manifestations of insulin resistance
As a result, the body enters a more stable weight loss mode without a constant feeling of hunger.
What drugs are used
There are several generations of GLP drugs for weight loss.
These include drugs based on:
- liraglutide (Saxenda, Victoza)
- semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy)
- tirzepatide (Mounjaro)
- retratrutide
- combinations with an amylin component
The choice of drug depends on:
- the results of diagnostics
- the degree of insulin resistance
- hormonal profile
- concomitant diseases
- previous treatment experience
Self-prescription or changing the dosage is dangerous.
Prescription only under the supervision of a physician
Medication to support weight loss is prescribed after consultation with a physician and a complete examination.
The doctor determines:
- the presence of indications
- the advisability of using GLP drugs
- the starting dose
- the rate of dose increase
- the duration of therapy
This approach reduces the risk of side effects and increases effectiveness.
Why medication is combined with other stages
GLP drugs help control appetite, but they do not replace:
It is the comprehensive approach that allows you to:
- minimize muscle mass loss
- improve metabolic indicators
- reduce the risk of relapse after completing therapy
Safety and medical supervision
During therapy, the following are monitored:
- weight dynamics
- body composition
- laboratory indicators
- treatment tolerance
The goal is not just rapid weight loss, but safe and stable results.
If you are considering using weight loss drugs, start with a consultation with your doctor.
