What are GLP-1 Medications?
After an initial visit with a medical weight management specialist, they will determine if GLP-1 treatment is right for you. Most GLP-1 medications are taken via injection daily or weekly. The most common side effects of GLP-1 medications include loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Some people also experience dizziness, increased heart rate, infections, headaches, upset stomach or redness or itchiness at the injection site. These medications aren’t safe to take during pregnancy, and you should use reliable birth control while taking them.
How do GLP-1 Medications Work?
​GLP-1 medications are injectable drugs used to treat type 2 diabetes and obesity. When combined with lifestyle changes or other treatments, they help manage blood sugar, promote weight loss, and may improve blood pressure, cholesterol, fatty liver disease, and reduce risks to the heart, kidneys, and nerves.
What to Expect When You Take GLP-1 Medications
GLP-1 is a natural hormone that helps regulate blood sugar and appetite. It increases insulin release, blocks glucagon, slows digestion, and helps you feel full after eating. GLP-1 medications mimic these effects to improve blood sugar control and support weight loss.
