What are semaglutide and tirzepatide injections?

Semaglutide and tirzepatide are weight loss injections that decrease appetite, control blood sugar in people with type 2 diabetes, and maximize weight management. 

Semaglutide

Semaglutide is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist approved by the FDA under the brand names Ozempic®, Wegovy®, and Rybelsus®. 

Tirzepatide

Tirzepatide (Mounjaro®) is a glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptor and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist. It’s similar to semaglutide in acting as a weight loss aid.

• Simple and fast weight loss

Which weight loss injections are best suited for me?

Your weight loss specialist at Broadway Family Practice personalizes a weight loss plan that best suits your needs. They discuss your current weight, target weight, medications, lifestyle, and medical history. 

Your specialist checks your vital signs, completes a physical exam, and often suggests blood testing or other diagnostic tests to establish the most appropriate treatment. 

For example, they may screen you for high cholesterol, thyroid concerns affecting weight loss, hormone imbalances, nutritional deficiencies, and additional health concerns. 

What should I expect during semaglutide and tirzepatide treatment?

Semaglutide and tirzepatide treatment involves injecting medication yourself at home, often once weekly. 

Your provider shows you how to inject the medications and is available to address any questions or concerns. You can expect less hunger and significant weight loss.

It’s also important to eat nutritious foods, stay active, minimize stress, and get enough sleep to maintain a healthy body weight long term. Take dietary supplements if asked to and follow up with Broadway Family Practice to ensure your treatment is effective.
