Semaglutide weekly injection

What is Semaglutide?

Semaglutide is a modified molecule our bodies make, called a GLP-1 analog. It works by increasing insulin production and lowering glucagon secretion as well as targeting areas in the brain that regulate appetite and food intake. A small change in the molecule allows the drug to last weeks in our bodies rather than the natural version our bodies make, which lasts minutes.

How does Semaglutide work?

• Delays how quickly our stomach digest food.

• Slows intestinal motility so you will feel fuller longer after meals.

• Lowers blood sugars, in part by reducing the production of sugar in the liver

• Stimulates insulin secretion by the pancreas.

Tirzepatide is a once-weekly injectable dual glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptor agonist. It works by increasing insulin production and lowering glucagon secretion as well as targeting areas in the brain that regulate appetite and food intake.

How does Tirzeptide work?

• Delays how quickly our stomachs digest food, leading to a feeling of fullness and satisfaction with smaller meals.

• Slows intestinal motility so you will feel fuller longer after meals.

• Stimulates insulin secretion by the pancreas.

• GIP increases energy expenditure, resulting in weight loss reductions.
