Semaglutide Weight Loss Injections
The FDA has approved weekly Semaglutide injections for chronic weight management in obese or overweight adults with at least one weight-related condition. This under-the-skin injection can help you lose up to two pounds per week when paired with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity.
What is Semaglutide?
Semaglutide is an FDA-approved weight loss injection. By mimicking a hormone in the body, Semaglutide increases insulin secretion while slowing down how fast your stomach empties food. This suppresses your appetite, so you feel full longer, helping you eat less and lose weight.
The drug was approved in 2017 at a lower dose to help control blood sugar in Type 2 diabetes. People taking Semaglutide for blood sugar control lose weight as an additional benefit. After studying a higher amount of the medication in people without Type 2 diabetes, the FDA approved Semaglutide for weight loss in qualified adults.
How Does Semaglutide Work For Weight Loss?
Semaglutide mimics a hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1 (or GLP-1) that targets areas in the brain that regulate appetite and food intake. Your digestive tract releases this incretin hormone after you have eaten a meal, lowering your blood sugar by triggering insulin release to block sugar production. Doing so helps you eat less and lose one to two pounds per week. Semaglutide should be combined with lifestyle changes, including a healthy diet and exercise.
What are the benefits of Semaglutide weight loss injections?
● Lower blood sugar without any increase in hypoglycemia.
● Reduced body weight, lipids, blood pressure, inflammatory markers, and oxidative stress.
● Suppressed appetite.
● Enhanced insulin synthesis and secretion.
● Reduced glucagon levels in fasting and after eating.
● A promoted sensation of fullness in the brain.
● More significant improvement in cardiovascular risk factors associated with obesity.
What is Tirzepatide?
Tirzepatide is a once weekly injection that is a first-in-class medicine that activates the GLP-1 (Glucagon-like Peptide-1) and GIP (Glucose-Dependent Insulinotropic Polypeptide) receptors. These hormones regulate blood sugar levels, suppress appetite, and improve satiety (feelings of fullness).2
How Does Tirzepatide
Tirzepatide works like Semaglutide by targeting naturally occurring hormones, but Tirzepatide targets both GIP and GLP-1 pathways. Tirzepatide works well for weight loss in several ways by helping the body regulate blood sugar, reduce cravings, reduce hunger/suppress appetite, and improving satiety by slowing down digestion.
Is Tirzapetide FDA-Approved For Weight Loss?

It is not used for people with Type 1 diabetes and should not be used by those that are pregnant or planning to become pregnant. It should not be used by patients if they, or any of their family, have had medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) or if they have Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2).4
