Semaglutide & Tirzepatide faqs

---

Semaglutide and Tirzepatide belong to a class of medications known as glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists, or GLP-1 RAs. They mimic the GLP-1 hormone, released in the gut in response to eating. GLP-1 in higher amounts also interacts with the parts of the brain that suppress your appetite and signal you to feel full. When used in conjunction with diet and exercise, Semaglutide and Tirzepatide can cause significant weight loss!
