What Are Medical Weight Loss Injections?
Originally developed to treat Type 2 diabetes, GLP-1 medications were found to have an “interesting” side-effect: significant weight loss. This unexpected benefit led to further research and FDA approval for the use of Ozempic (as Wegovy) and Mounjaro (as Zepbound) in obesity and weight management. The active ingredients in these medications are Semaglutide and Tirzepatide.
These medications are primarily administered as injections, using small needles that are placed superficially into fatty areas of the body. They interact with cell receptors in the pancreas, gastrointestinal tract, and other parts of the body. These medications are modified versions of peptide molecules that closely resemble structures produced by our bodies. They can delay the processing and emptying of food from the stomach, leading to feelings of early and long-lasting fullness after meals. They also influence brain centers to regulate and reduce cravings, which can help patients manage stress-eating and reward-eating behaviors.
Extensive research on these medications has revealed that they have many other effects in our bodies that confer potential health benefits beyond weight loss. Wegovy has recently received FDA approval for use to lower the risk of nonfatal heart attacks, nonfatal strokes, and cardiovascular death (the so-called “MACE” risk) in high-risk adults who are overweight or obese.
How Do Medical Weight Loss Injections Work?
Enhancing Weight Management through Advanced Science
Medical weight loss injections with Semaglutide and Tirzepatide injections leverage the latest advancements in medical science to support significant weight loss. These medications function similarly to naturally occurring hormones in the body. They are designed to regulate appetite and enhance metabolic health, which are crucial in managing obesity and associated health risks. When used responsibly in conjunction with healthy lifestyle changes – specifically reduced intake of calories, eating a healthier diet, and incorporating regular exercise into patients’ daily activities – medical weight loss injections can contribute to a healthy, sustainable plan to achieve lasting weight loss.
Mechanism of Action
The active agents in these injections mimic the effect of GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1), a hormone that plays a vital role in appetite regulation and glucose metabolism. Here’s how they facilitate weight loss:
Gastric Delay: By slowing down gastric emptying, these injections help you feel fuller longer after meals, reducing the urge to overeat.
Appetite Suppression: They increase satiety and decrease hunger through direct action on the appetite centers in the brain, leading to a lower caloric intake.
Blood Sugar Control: By inhibiting the release of glucagon — a hormone that raises blood glucose levels — these injections help stabilize blood sugar levels, which is especially beneficial for individuals with type 2 diabetes.

More About Medical Weight loss Options
How does medical weight loss with Semaglutide and Tirzepatide work?
Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are GLP-1 receptor agonists that help regulate appetite and food intake by mimicking the effects of the hormone GLP-1, which slows gastric emptying and increases feelings of fullness and reduces hunger. The medications also act in centers of the brain to decrease cravings, often for unhealthy foods. Cravings can be triggered by many things – including stress, hormone changes, fatigue, or anxiety – which can be a reason why we consume more calories than we need, and are a big factor in weight gain and difficulty in losing weight. These medications have mostly beneficial effects on many different organs in our bodies, with some studies showing that they can improve the health of mitochondria in cells, which may contribute to healthier metabolism.
Which is more effective for weight loss, Semaglutide or Tirzepatide?
.Trizepatide use was associated with greater weight loss (20% in clinical trials on Zepbound – the commercially available form) over similar time periods compared to Semaglutide (15% in trials on Wegovy), so it appears to be “stronger” than Semaglutide.
Will I regain the weight after I come off the medication?
Studies have found that a high percentage of patients do regain weight after stopping the medications.
Learning how to adopt healthier lifestyles through education about nutrition, as well as managing stress and being more active, will help you maintain your weight loss.
So far, these medications appear to be safe for long-term, so staying on the medications may be an option for some patients.
Are Semaglutide and Tirzepatide safe for long-term use?
Studies suggest that both medications are safe for long-term use when monitored by a healthcare provider. Long-term safety data is continually being collected and patients should have regular follow-up visits with their healthcare providers to screen for conditions that may arise.
Do I need to follow a specific diet or exercise plan while on the medical weight loss program?
While no specific diet is required maintaining a healthy balanced diet is critical to reducing the risks of regaining weight over time and improving your overall health.
What should I do if I miss a dose?
If you miss a dose, you should take it as soon as you remember it. If you are on a higher dosage of the medication (not the initial 1st or 2nd doses), AND you miss more than 2 weeks of your medication, you should restart the medication at a lowered dosage to avoid the risk of severe nausea and vomiting. Always check with your healthcare provider if you are unsure.
