How Do GLP-1 Medications work
GLP-1 (Glucagon-Like Peptide-1) is a naturally occurring hormone involved in appetite regulation and blood sugar control. GLP-1-based treatments are administered by injection and may help support the body’s natural processes related to appetite and digestion, such as promoting a feeling of fullness and slowing gastric emptying. These treatments are prescribed by licensed healthcare providers as part of an individualized plan to support patients in managing their overall health and weight.
Potential Benefits
GIP-1 medication is FDA-approved to help manage blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes. Its use should be based on a licensed healthcare provider’s clinical evaluation.
