What is Semaglutide/Tirzepatide?
Semaglutide weight loss injections are an impactful way to reduce appetite, resist hunger cravings, and aid in losing weight. This simple, once a week injection mimics the effects of the hormone GLP-1 that is released in the gut in response to eating.
Tirzepatide is another popular weight loss medication via injection. Similar to Semaglutide, Tirzepatide acts on the GLP-1 receptor. However, Tirzepatide acts as a dual-action receptor which is a leg up from Semaglutide. Tirzepatide works on the Glucagon-like Peptide-1 but additionally it also works on the GIP or Glucose-Dependent Insulinotropic Polypeptide, making it a dual-acting weight loss treatment. Furthermore, the unique dual action makes Tirzepatide the first-in-class medication that acts on both receptors.
How Do They Work?
Both medications belong to a class of medications called GLP-1 receptor agonists. It works by:
- Slowing down gastric emptying, which helps you feel fuller for longer.
- Reducing hunger by acting on appetite centers in the brain.
- Enhancing insulin secretion, which can help control blood sugar levels.
- GLP-1 Pairing Semaglutide/Tirzepatide with healthy eating and an exercise routine can have a very positive effect on weight loss.
