Weight loss medications are typically prescribed for individuals who are overweight or obese and have been unable to lose weight through diet and exercise alone. These medications can help to suppress appetite, reduce calorie intake, block fat absorption, or increase metabolism, leading to weight loss.

They are usually prescribed as part of a comprehensive weight loss program that includes lifestyle changes such as a healthy diet and regular physical activity. Weight loss medications are not a magic solution and should be used under the guidance of a healthcare professional. They are generally recommended for individuals with a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher, or for those with a BMI of 27 or higher with obesity-related health conditions.

Alternative to Brands Ozempic & Wegovy

Semaglutide is a medication that was originally developed to treat type 2 diabetes, but it has also been found to be effective for weight loss. In fact, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved a version of semaglutide specifically for chronic weight management in adults who are either obese or overweight with at least one weight-related condition, such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol. This version is sold under the brand name Wegovy.

Semaglutide works by mimicking a hormone in the body that regulates appetite and food intake. It helps to reduce hunger and increase feelings of fullness, leading to a decrease in calorie intake and weight loss.This medication is given by injection under the skin once a week. It is intended to be used in conjunction with a reduced-calorie diet and regular exercise.
