Weight loss medications work by stimulating insulin secretion, and slowing down the release of sugar into the bloodstream. By delaying stomach emptying, weight loss medications helps you feel fuller for longer, reducing overall calorie consumption. Clinical studies have shown that weekly weight loss medication injections can lead to an average weight loss of 9-13% over a year when combined with healthy lifestyle habits.

Medical weight loss medications are administered via a simple injection just under the skin (subcutaneously), typically in the abdomen. Your practitioner will guide you on how to administer the injections and adjust the dosage as needed.

It’s important to have realistic expectations and to stay consistent with your treatment plan to achieve the best results.
