Medications

Semaglutide – is a glucagon – like peptide (GLP-1) agonist. It works by slowing down the time it takes your stomach to empty food and increases the sensation of fullness. This results in an appetite suppression effect. 

Tirzepatide –  enhances insulin secretion and reduces secretion of glucagon secretion which contributes to improved blood sugar control. Tirzepatide is also associated to significant weight loss due to the slowing down of the time it takes for your stomach to empty. 

Side effects may include

Loss of appetite (i.e., constant feelings of fullness that go beyond the desired results)

• Light-headed or dizzy sensations
• Persistent lethargic feeling
• Gastrointestinal discomfort
• Diarrhea

Tesofensine– Significantly affected appetite, Reduction in expected next meal size, decreased desires for sweet, fatty, or salty foods, improvement in quality of life in Physical Function, Self-Esteem, Sexual Life, Public Distress, and Work.
