Description

GLP-1 medications are prescription treatments that can support weight management and metabolic health when appropriate for an individual. They work by mimicking a naturally occurring hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), which helps regulate appetite, digestion, blood sugar, and feelings of fullness.

When prescribed as part of a comprehensive medical weight-management program, GLP-1 medications may help patients feel fuller longer, reduce hunger and cravings, and achieve meaningful weight loss alongside nutrition, physical activity, and ongoing clinical support.

Treatment is individualized. A qualified healthcare professional will review your medical history, current health, medications, and treatment goals to determine whether a GLP-1 medication is appropriate.

Note: GLP-1 medications are prescription treatments and are not suitable for everyone. They should be used only under appropriate medical supervision.
