Lose Weight

Semaglutide will help you shed a lot of pounds. If you want to lose weight, this medicine is your buddy.

Better Blood Sugar

Semaglutide lowers blood sugar levels, partly by decreasing the liver’s production of glucose. Stimulating the pancreas to secrete insulin.

Full Tummy Feeling

It slows digestion and inhibits intestinal motility, which prolongs the feeling of fullness after meals.

Stay Slim

Helps keep off weight in the long run.


Semaglutide

What is Semaglutide?

Semaglutide is a synthetic version of a naturally occurring hormone called GLP-1. It functions by enhancing insulin production and reducing glucagon secretion. Additionally, it targets specific areas in the brain that regulate appetite and food intake. A slight modification in its molecular structure allows Semaglutide to have a prolonged effect in the body compared to the naturally occurring version, which has a shorter duration of action. What is Semaglutide?

How Does Semaglutide Work?

  • It slows down the rate at which the stomach digests food, leading to a sense of fullness and satisfaction with smaller meal portions.
  • It inhibits intestinal motility, which prolongs the feeling of fullness after meals.
  • It lowers blood sugar levels, partly by decreasing the liver’s production of glucose.
  • It stimulates the pancreas to secrete insulin, aiding in glucose regulation.

Benefits

  • Decreased cravings and appetite
  • Increased weight loss
  • Improved blood glucose control

Side Effects / Contraindications

Common side effects include nausea and constipation. Some patients may also experience acid reflux, stomach pain, vomiting, and diarrhea. It’s important to be aware that individuals with hypoglycemia, kidney problems, or a history of allergic reactions are at a higher risk of experiencing more serious side effects. Regular communication with a healthcare provider is necessary for those using or considering Semaglutide.

Important Information

**Semaglutide is not insulin and should not be administered to individuals with type 1 diabetes or those experiencing diabetic ketoacidosis. It should not be combined with any other GLP-1 medications.

**Semaglutide comes with a potential risk of thyroid c-cell tumors. If you or any family members have a history of Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Syndrome Type 2 or Medullary thyroid cancer, it is advised to refrain from using Semaglutide. If you have a prior history of pancreatitis, it is crucial to consult with your healthcare provider before initiating Semaglutide, as it may heighten the risk of developing pancreatitis.


Tirzepatide

What is Tirzepatide?

Tirzepatide is a weekly injectable medication that targets both the GLP-1 and GIP receptors. It enhances insulin production, reduces glucagon secretion, and affects the brain’s appetite regulation. Through a subtle modification in its molecular structure, this drug lasts much longer in our bodies compared to the natural version, which has a much shorter duration of action. This makes Tirzepatide a significant asset in managing certain metabolic conditions.

How does Tirzepatide work?

  • Slows down how fast your stomach digests food, so you feel full with smaller meals.
  • Delays intestinal movement, extending the feeling of fullness after eating.
  • Lowers blood sugar by reducing liver sugar production, thanks to its dual-action receptor. Boosts insulin release from the pancreas.
  • Helps burn more energy, which can assist in weight loss through a hormone called GIP.

Benefits

  • Reduced appetite and cravings
  • Weight loss
  • Lowered A1C levels
  • Enhanced cardiometabolic measures

Important Information

**This medication is not insulin. Do not use it if you have type 1 diabetes or develop diabetic ketoacidosis. Avoid combining Tirzepatide with other GLP-1 medications.

**Warning: There is a risk of thyroid C-cell tumors. If you or any family members have Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Syndrome Type 2 or Medullary thyroid cancer, do not take Tirzepatide.
