GLP1- RA (glucagon-like peptide 1-receptor agonists) medications were first released in 2004 for diabetic patients.

GLP1-RA's reduce appetite by slowing the release of insulin, shorten gastrointestinal transit times, and improve feelings of "fullness."
The names of the most commonly used products used for weight loss and Diabetes are tirzepatide, semaglutide, liraglutide, Mounjaro, Zepbound, , Ozempic, Wegovy, Victoza, and Saxenda.
We also prescribe compounding formulations, if needed.
