Anti-obesity medications
Lose Weight, and Keep it Off!
Anti-obesity medications is an FDA approved prescription weight-loss medication for adults to help with weight management. It comes in a pre-filled injection pen that can be self-administered at home, once daily.
Your body naturally produces an appetite hormone known as glucagon-like-peptide (GLP-1) that regulates your hunger. Anti-obesity medications is a GLP-1 receptor agonist. It works by increasing feeling of fullness and satiety, thus suppressing your appetite, leading to fewer calories consumed. This leads to weight loss without feeling the hunger.
