GLP-1s historically have been used to treat type 2 diabetes. Over the last decade, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved certain injectable GLP-1s for weight loss/management. Pharmaceutical manufacturers market these drugs under different brand names based on differences in the dosages and the conditions they officially treat.
Manufacturer | Active Ingredient | Brand Name (Type 2 Diabetes) | Brand Name (Weight Loss/Management) |
Novo Nordisk | Liraglutide | Victoza® | Saxenda® |
Novo Nordisk | Semaglutide | Ozempic® | Wegovy® |
Lilly | Tirzepatide | Mounjaro® | Zepbound® |
Note: Side effects for GLP-1s may include nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.
While clinical trials have shown that patients on GLP-1s can lose 15% or more of their initial body weight, most of the weight is likely to be regained if patients stop taking these medications without having made sustainable lifestyle changes. Zoe Primary Care can help patients not only lose weight but also keep it off to avoid relying on GLP-1s as a “forever medication” to manage their weight.
Weight loss medications are designed to help individuals manage their weight when diet and exercise alone are insufficient. They work by suppressing appetite, increasing feelings of fullness, or reducing the absorption of fat in the body. Some common medications (and their common side effects) include:
It’s important to note that all of these medications are typically prescribed as part of a comprehensive weight management plan, which includes a healthy diet, regular exercise, and behavioral changes. They are not a quick fix and should be used under the supervision of a healthcare provider. Always consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new medication for obesity.
ZoeRVA Health offers medical and counseling services that allow individuals to meet their physical and mental health goals through clinical care that is respectful, collaborative, and emphasizes the importance of lifestyle changes.
