“Wonder Drug” Peptide Weight Loss Therapy
One of the most widely used obesity/weight loss medications now is peptide injectable therapy like semaglutide (Wegovy) with breakthrough results across the world.
Semaglutide (Wegovy), Tirzepatide (Mounjaro), and Liraglutide belong to a class of medications known as glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists, or GLP-1 RAs. It mimics the GLP-1 hormone, released in the gut in response to eating.
How does GLP-1A work?
One role of GLP-1 is to prompt the body to produce more insulin, which reduces blood sugar (glucose). For that reason, healthcare providers have used semaglutide for more than 15 years to treat Type 2 diabetes.
But GLP-1 in higher amounts also interacts with the parts of the brain that suppress your appetite and signal you to feel full. When used in conjunction with diet and exercise, it can cause significant weight loss — and a reduced risk of cancer, diabetes, and heart disease — in people who are obese or overweight.
What Are the Side Effects of Semaglutide or Tirzepatide or Similar Injections?
The side effects of semaglutide or tirzepatide are typically mild — especially when compared to the complications associated with overweight and obesity.
People taking semaglutide or tirzepatide for weight loss may experience:
- Dizziness
- Fatigue
- Gastrointestinal issues, such as diarrhea, constipation
- Headache
- Stomach issues, including nausea, vomiting, pain, or distension (bloat)
- Gastrointestinal issues are the most common complaint among people just starting semaglutide. But you may be able to reduce the side effects by beginning on a lower dose and then slowly increasing the amount you take.
Who should take peptide therapy for weight loss?
- Have a body mass index (BMI) of 27kg/m2 or greater and at least one weight-related condition, such as high blood pressure, Type 2 diabetes or high cholesterol
- Have a BMI of 30kg/m2 or greater
Who should not take semaglutide/liraglutide/ tirzepatide for weight loss?
- History of medullary thyroid cancer
- History of gallbladder disease
- History of pancreatitis
- Multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN2)
