About the Medications
Ozempic®, Wegovy® and Mounjaro® are considered GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide receptor agonists) medications. These medicines are used to treat type 2 diabetes by helping the body make more natural insulin which lowers sugar levels. Doctors and scientists realized that this class of medicines also resulted in significant weight loss for their patients.
In 2021, the FDA approved Wegovy® as a stand-alone weight loss medication for people without diabetes. The GLP-1 medications are taken once weekly. They make people feel fuller faster and for longer and help them lose weight.
