When it comes to weight loss, the journey can be challenging and multifaceted, involving diet, exercise, and sometimes medical intervention. In recent years, two medications have emerged as significant aids in this journey Both have shown promise in helping individuals achieve weight loss, but they work in slightly different ways and have unique characteristics.
Mounjaro (tirzepatide) is a relatively new medication approved for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. It belongs to a class of drugs known as incretin mimetics. Mounjaro works by mimicking the effects of incretin hormones, which help lower blood sugar levels. However, it has also been found to significantly aid in weight loss. Mounjaro acts on two fronts: it increases insulin release in response to meals and decreases glucagon production, which in turn helps reduce appetite and food intake.
Wegovy (semaglutide) is another medication initially approved for the treatment of type 2 diabetes under the brand name Ozempic. Wegovy, specifically dosed and marketed for weight loss, also belongs to the incretin mimetics class. It works by mimicking the GLP-1 hormone, which targets areas of the brain that regulate appetite and food intake, leading to reduced hunger and calorie intake.
The relationship between hormones and weight gain is delicate as a man ages. Our comprehensive evaluation will detail the best plan for each man interested in improving their health and quality of life.
Both medications can cause side effects, which are generally similar due to their mechanisms of action. Common side effects include gastrointestinal issues such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation. These side effects are usually temporary and tend to diminish over time. However, Mounjaro and Wegovy may have different profiles in terms of side effect severity and duration, which can influence the choice of medication for some individuals. Using our Medically supervised weight loss plans will reduce the chance of any adverse effects.
Our female comprehensive laboratory panel along with a detailed consultation with our doctor, a treatment plan can be created and customized. This will access the hormone balance, thyroid function and stress assessment.
Most of these products are administered via injection. Ozempic and Wegovy are typically taken once a week, while Mounjaro’s administration frequency may vary based on the prescribed regimen. The ease of use and frequency of administration can be deciding factors for some patients.
Ozempic, Mounjaro and Wegovy are both effective medications for weight loss, with each having its unique mechanism of action and profile. The choice between the two should be made based on individual health conditions, potential side effects, and personal preferences, ideally in consultation with a healthcare professional. Remember, these medications are most effective when used in conjunction with a healthy diet and regular exercise. If you’re considering medical options for weight loss, discussing these medications with your doctor can be a good starting point to determine the best approach for your specific needs.
Phentermine is a prescription medication used primarily for short-term weight loss in individuals who are obese or overweight. It belongs to a class of drugs known as appetite suppressants. Phentermine works by decreasing appetite and increasing feelings of fullness, which can lead to consuming fewer calories and ultimately weight loss.
It is typically recommended for use in combination with a reduced-calorie diet and regular exercise for best results. Phentermine is intended for short-term use (usually a few weeks to a few months) due to its potential for abuse and dependence, as well as its stimulant properties which may cause side effects like increased heart rate, insomnia, and dry mouth.
While effective for some individuals in jump-starting weight loss efforts, phentermine is not a long-term solution on its own and should be used under the supervision of a healthcare provider. It is important to follow dosage instructions carefully and to discuss any potential side effects or concerns with a doctor before starting this medication.
Naltrexone is a medication primarily used to manage alcohol or opioid dependence by blocking the effects of opioids in the brain. However, when combined with another medication called bupropion, it is also used for weight management. The combination of naltrexone and bupropion affects appetite and energy balance pathways in the brain, leading to reduced food intake and potentially promoting weight loss.
This combination medication is FDA-approved for chronic weight management in adults who have a BMI (Body Mass Index) of 30 or greater (obese) or 27 or greater (overweight) with at least one weight-related comorbidity, such as hypertension or type 2 diabetes. It is prescribed alongside a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity.
Naltrexone itself does not directly cause weight loss; its effects on appetite and food intake are primarily observed when combined with bupropion. Common side effects may include nausea, constipation, headache, dizziness, and insomnia.
As with any medication, it is important to discuss potential benefits and risks with a healthcare provider to determine if naltrexone/bupropion is appropriate for your weight loss goals and overall health.
Vitamin B12 shots are a liquid form of the nutrient administered through an injection into a muscle. They contain a synthetic version of B12, otherwise known as cyanocobalamin. Typically, people with B12 deficiencies will be given injections. However, they can also be used to reduce the risk of developing certain health disorders, including neurological conditions, anemia, neuropathy or infertility.
