This article explains GLP-1 receptor agonists, medications originally designed for type 2 diabetes, that are now widely used for weight loss. These drugs, such as Ozempic and Wegovy, work by reducing appetite and slowing digestion, helping individuals lose 5-15% of their body weight when combined with healthy lifestyle changes. While effective, they are not suitable for everyone and can have side effects like nausea and, in rare cases, more serious complications. The article emphasizes the importance of consulting a healthcare provider, understanding costs, and incorporating lifestyle changes for long-term success. Adonai Pharmacy offers support and guidance for those considering GLP-1 medications.
