Secrets of Semaglutide

How It Works
  • GLP-1 Receptor Agonist: Mimics the glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), which increases insulin secretion, decreases glucagon secretion, slows gastric emptying, and reduces appetite.
  • Efficacy: Clinical trials have shown that semaglutide can lead to an average weight loss of approximately 15% of initial body weight over 68 weeks.
  • Administration: Available as a once-weekly subcutaneous injection
  • Side Effects: Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation. Things like pancreatitis, gallbladder disease, kidney injury are more serious and require medical attention.
  • Patient Selection: Ideal for patients with a BMI ≥30 kg/m² or ≥27 kg/m² with at least one weight-related comorbidity (e.g., hypertension, type 2 diabetes).

Tirzepatide

How It Works
  • Dual GIP/GLP-1 Receptor Agonist: Activates both glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and GLP-1 receptors, enhancing insulin secretion, reducing glucagon levels, slowing gastric emptying, and decreasing appetite.
  • Efficacy: Clinical studies indicate significant weight loss, with some patients achieving up to 20% reduction in body weight over 72 weeks.
  • Administration: Administered as a once-weekly subcutaneous injection.
  • Side Effects: Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, reduced appetite. More serious things like pancreatitis, thyroid tumors (in rodents), and hypoglycemia (especially when used with other diabetes medications), are serious and require medical attention.
  • Patient Selection: Suitable for patients with obesity or overweight with related comorbidities, especially those who have not responded adequately to other weight loss interventions.
