What Are Semaglutide and Tirzepatide?

Semaglutide and Tirzepatide belong to a class of medications known as GLP-1 receptor agonists, which mimic natural hormones that regulate appetite and blood sugar. Semaglutide was first approved in 2017 for Type 2 diabetes, while Tirzepatide, a dual GLP-1 and GIP receptor agonist, represents the latest advancement in this field. Both medications increase insulin production, reduce glucagon secretion, and help stabilize blood sugar levels. Similar to brands such as Wegovy, Ozempic, and Mounjaro, these treatments reduce appetite, mitigate cravings, and promote better glycemic control. Used alongside a healthy diet and active lifestyle, they provide powerful, lasting weight loss benefits.

How Do Weight Loss Injections Work?

Semaglutide and Tirzepatide act on hormones that regulate appetite and digestion. By optimizing GLP-1 activity and, in Tirzepatide’s case, also stimulating GIP receptors, they help patients feel full after eating smaller portions of food. This helps limit calorie intake without the sense of deprivation.

These medications also slow the rate of gastric emptying, which prolongs fullness after meals, and stimulate the pancreas to release insulin when blood sugar levels rise. The result is smoother digestion, reduced appetite, and better energy regulation throughout the day.
