Weight Loss Pen

Wegovy (formerly Ozempic) is a glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA). 

Initially developed for the treatment of type 2 diabetes these GLP1-RAs were found to not just improve blood glucose control but also cause significant WEIGHT LOSS. 

Wegovy essentially mimics a hormone that stimulates the pancreas to produce more insulin, in turn lowering blood sugar, reducing cravings, and slowing digestion. All these mechanisms keep you feeling fuller for longer and prevent you from overeating, ultimately leading to weight loss.

Wegovy acts like a natural hormone to make you feel fuller for longer, reducing your cravings for more food, enhancing the way your body regulates blood sugar levels and the storage of fat. The is a new class of treatment that is highly effective for weight loss. It works by reducing your appetite. It comes as pre-filled injection pens that you easily administer yourself just once a week.
It is suitable for those with a body mass index (BMI) of 30 and over and must be taken alongside a healthy diet and exercise regime to see the full benefits.

Mounjaro is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that stimulates insulin release in response to high blood glucose levels.  This medication works by activating both two receptors called GLP-1 and GIP to increase the level of incretins – hormones - in the body.

By stimulating the release of hormones such as insulin and glucagon, it helps to reduce hunger, decrease food intake, and promote feelings of fullness.

Mounjaro is typically recommended for people with a BMI over 30, or individuals with a BMI over 27 with at least one weight-related condition, such as high blood pressure, heart disease, or obstructive sleep apnea.
