GLP-1 receptor agonists like semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy) and tirzepatide (Mounjaro, Zepbound) are FDA-approved medications primarily used for type 2 diabetes and chronic weight management
Wegovy has been approved by the FDA to reduce risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in those with a history of MACE, but studies of Zepbound are still pending
In the UK, routine thyroid screening is not recommended for all people with type 2 diabetes
Yes lipotropic injections and GLP-1 medications (semaglutide/Ozempic/Wegovy, tirzepatide/Mounjaro/Zepbound) work through completely different mechanisms and are commonly combined
Stay well-hydrated and aim for regular meals even when appetite is reduced
