How Do Weight Loss Injections Work?
The weight loss injections we offer work by helping you feel full for longer and reducing your appetite. They mimic a hormone in your body called GLP-1 (Glucagon-Like Peptide-1), which plays a role in regulating blood sugar levels and appetite. By making you feel satisfied after eating smaller amounts, these medications help you eat less, leading to gradual and sustainable weight loss. Additionally, they help improve how your body uses insulin, which is beneficial for people who struggle with weight due to insulin resistance or type 2 diabetes.
General Contraindications
While weight loss injections are safe for many people, there are certain situations where they should not be used. You should avoid these treatments if you:
- Have a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2).
- Are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.
- Have a known allergy to any of the components in the injections.
- Suffer from severe gastrointestinal issues, such as gastroparesis.
- Have a history of pancreatitis.
The above-listed contraindications are not exhaustive. It’s important to have a consultation with Dr. Ahmad to discuss your medical history and ensure that these treatments are suitable for you.
The power of GLP-1s
Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists, also known as GLP-1 analogs, GLP-1DAs or incretin mimetics, are a class of drugs that reduce blood sugar and energy intake by activating the GLP-1 receptor. They mimic the actions of the endogenous incretin hormone GLP-1 that is released by the gut after eating.
