What are Semaglutide, Wegovy, Saxenda, Ozempic, and Mounjaro?
These medications are Glucagon- Like Peptides (GLP-1). These GLP-1 medications are effective in weight loss by delaying gastric emptying and enhancing the sensation of fullness, thus decreasing food intake. These agents have been successfully studied in obese, non-diabetic patients. Weight loss results can be seen as early as 1-2 weeks into treatment.
What are the Side effects?
Side effects are usually mild and may include: nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, constipation, stomach pain, headache, fatigue, dizziness, bloating, belching, gas, and heartburn.
