What is weight management treatment with Tirzepatide / Semaglutide?
Tirzepatide/Semaglutide injections are used for weight loss in conjunction with a diet and exercise plan. These injections are administered under the surface of the skin (subcutaneously) for chronic weight management in adults with obesity (BMI > 30) or who are overweight (BMI > 26) and have at least one weight-related condition, such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, and/or high cholesterol. Tirzepatide/Semaglutide mimics GLP-1 or GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist hormones, which trigger the creation of insulin, a feeling of fullness, and a reduction in appetite.
