FAQ
Most frequently questions and answers
GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) is a hormone produced by cells in the small intestine and released in response to food intake. GLP-1 plays an important role in regulating blood sugar levels by stimulating insulin secretion from the pancreas and suppressing glucagon secretion.
GLP-1 has been shown to reduce appetite and increase feelings of fullness, leading to a decrease in food intake and weight loss. Additionally, GLP-1 has been found to increase energy expenditure and promote fat burning.
There are several medications available that utilize GLP-1 for weight management, including semaglutide, liraglutide, exenatide, and dulaglutide. These medications are typically used in conjunction with diet and exercise for the management of obesity and type 2 diabetes.
GLP-1 medications are generally considered safe, but as with any medication, they may cause side effects. Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation. More serious side effects are rare but may include pancreatitis and kidney problems.
GLP-1 medications may be beneficial for individuals who are overweight or obese and have been unsuccessful in losing weight through diet and exercise alone. They may also be used in conjunction with other weight loss medications or bariatric surgery for individuals with more severe obesity.
The length of time that GLP-1 medications need to be taken for weight management varies depending on the individual and their weight loss goals. Some individuals may only need to take the medication for a few months, while others may need to take it for several years.
GLP-1 medications may interact with other medications, so it is important to discuss all medications and supplements with a healthcare provider before starting GLP-1 therapy.
GLP-1 medications are not recommended for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding, as their safety has not been established in these population.
GLP-1 medications have been shown to be effective for weight management in clinical trials, with individuals typically experiencing an average weight loss of 5-10% of their body weight. However, the effectiveness may vary among individuals, and the medication should be used in conjunction with diet and exercise for the best results.
