What it is
A GLP-1 receptor agonist prescribed for weight management. It slows gastric emptying and acts on the appetite centres of the brain, which is why the dominant experience is simply being less interested in food.
How it works
Mimics glucagon-like peptide-1, a gut hormone released after eating. That signal tells the pancreas to release insulin, tells the stomach to empty more slowly, and tells the hypothalamus that you are full.
How it is taken
Lyophilized powder vial, subcutaneous injection
Weekly subcutaneous injection, titrated upward over several weeks. Your physician sets the starting dose and the escalation schedule based on your intake and labs.
Safety
Compounded medications are not reviewed by the FDA for safety or efficacy. Your physician reviews your full history, current medications and goals before prescribing anything. Read our safety information before you begin.
