Semaglutide (Ozempic) belongs to the GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) receptor agonist drug class, that are injectable medications used to treat type 2 diabetes and obesity. It mimics the GLP-1 hormone to regulate appetite, increase insulin secretion (slows digestion) when blood sugar is high, and slows gastric emptying (promoting a feeling of satiety (fullness) and reducing hunger sounds.
Common side effects nausea, vomiting, bloating, gas, constipation, and diarrhea.
More serious side effects but less common: pancreatitis, gallstones, dehydration, allergic reactions, and thyroid tumors
Contraindicated: personal history or family history of Medullary Thyroid carcinoma (MCT), OR Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Syndrome type 2 (MEN 2).
Tirzepatide (Mounjaro-for type 2 diabetes and Zepbound- for weight management) acts as a dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist that increases insulin release, lower blood sugars, and slows gastric emptying, helping with glycemic control and satiety (fullness). This drug can induce significant weight loss (up to 15-20% of body weight).
You should not take Tirzepatide if you have a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2), a history of pancreatitis, severe gastrointestinal issues like gastroparesis, or a history of severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis/angioedema) to tirzepatide or similar drugs;
Contraindicated: pregnancy, breastfeeding, and caution is advised for those with diabetic eye disease or kidney/gallbladder issues.
How it works:
Side effects:
Phentermine is an appetite suppressant used for short-term weight loss (3 months). This drug is a sympathomimetic amine which mimic the effects of endogenous agonists of the sympathetic nervous system effects such as heart rate, force of contraction, and blood pressure.
Side effects: dry mouth, trouble sleeping (insomnia), headaches, constipation, tachycardia (fast heart beat), hypertension, palpitations, arrhythmia, anxiety, and tremors.
Avoid use: heart disease, uncontrolled high blood pressure, hyperthyroidism, or glaucoma.
