This is a triple-agonist medication that acts on three different hormone receptors in the body: glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP), and glucagon (GCG), Dr
Earlier studies suggest that semaglutide (sold as Ozempic, Wegovy, and Rybelsus) may cause more digestive issues, including diarrhea, than older GLP-1 medications like liraglutide (Saxenda and Victoza)
Most patients report improvements in skin texture, firmness, and hydration within 4-8 weeks
After youve eaten enough to fill your stomach, the GLP-1 hormone tells your brain to stop producing the hunger response, so you dont feel hungry all the time
Interested in long-term healthy aging
Menopausal hormone therapy is not required for GLP-1 medications to work
