concerning brand-new weight loss medication and when it must be made use of. Some recognize these medicines with brand names such as Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro or Zepbound. Others know it as semaglutide. They all belong to the GLP-1 agonist course of medicines.
GLP-1 represents glucagon-like peptide 1, which is a naturally taking place hormone that triggers an insulin launch in your pancreatic when you consume. That release in turn lowers your blood sugar. Yet GLP-1 additionally slows your food digestion and
aids you really feel fuller for a longer amount of time. GLP-1 agonists, such as these medications, resemble the action of this hormonal agent. Originally, doctors watched them as
therapy for diabetic issues. That’s exactly how Ozempic obtained FDA approval in 2017. Then, in 2021, the FDA accepted Wegovy
for weight loss. Zepbound followed in 2023. And things removed from there
. The analytics firm Trilliant Wellness
tracked a 300-percent rise in Ozempic prescriptions across the country from 2020 to 2022, and a 132 percent increase in people on these medicines from 2021 to 2022.” I’ve been treating excessive weight at UT Southwestern since 2012 and making use of these medicines considering that the start of my career,” stated Dr. Jaime Almandoz, clinical supervisor of UT Southwestern’s Weight Health care and assistant teacher of inner medicine.” From what I have actually seen, these medications are greatly extremely safe and effective, and are utilized effectively for dealing with not simply excessive weight however managing difficulties related to weight problems. “FULL STORY: https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/health/weight-loss-injections-ozempic-wegovy-mounjaro-zepbound-semaglutide-effects/287-15fa79fc-effe-4f37-965c-21e8e31543cc
Thank you, Dr. Almandoz, for this. It was really helpful because there are so many misunderstandings about GLP-1s. I am one who got heart valve problems from Fen-Phen, then lost and regained 190 pounds after RNY Gastric Bypass, and am now down 190+ pounds on GLP-1s. The difference between the three is significant, as you know. The GLP-1 and GLP-1/GIP I have been on over the last two years have been the most wondrous health gain and weight loss of all three. From needing wheelchairs and being unable to walk from my weight to now walking at least two miles+ a day, my life has been transformed. From HbA1c of 9.0 to now 5.1, off 5 different meds for co-morbidities, and more… I am alive! I have hope of being alive for a long time because of these meds. Thank you again for speaking out about the chronic state of obesity. I have no plans or desire to ever go off Mounjaro.
