HOW DOES THE MEDICATION WORK?
They mimic a natural hormone in your body, called GLP-1 (which is why it's commonly referred to as a GLP-1 medication). This hormone is produced by your digestive system in response to when food is consumed.
This weight loss through its action on the GLP-1 receptors in the brain. It helps regulate appetite and satiety, leading to reduced food intake and increased feelings of fullness. Additionally, it slows down the gastric emptying process, further contributing to reduced caloric intake.
