    Understanding Weight Loss Drugs 

    Many claims that have been emerging involve weight loss medications that were created to manage type 2 diabetes. These drugs typically work by mimicking a digestive hormone that reduces appetite. As a result, these diabetes medications have become widely popular among patients for their ability to help them lose weight.  

    What is Ozempic®?

    Ozempic® is the brand name drug for semaglutide and is a prescription medication that is FDA approved to treat type 2 diabetes.  

    What is Wegovy®?

    Wegovy® is the brand name drug with the same active compound as Ozempic® that received FDA approval as a weight loss medication. This drug contains a higher dose of semaglutide than Ozempic®.  

    What is Saxenda®?

    Saxenda® is the brand name drug for liraglutide and is approved for chronic weight management.  

    What is Rybelsus®?

    Rybelsus® is a brand name drug for semaglutide that is prescribed to treat type 2 diabetes. It is used alongside diet and exercise to help patients manage blood sugar levels. 

    What is Mounjaro®?

    Mounjaro® is a brand name drug for tirzepatide and is an injectable medication used alongside diet and exercise to treat patients with type 2 diabetes. It helps manage blood sugar levels by mimicking digestive hormones in the body.  

    What is Trulicity? 

    Trulicity is a brand name drug for dulaglutide. This is an injectable medication that is FDA-approved to treat patients with type 2 diabetes. It is used alongside diet and exercise to control high blood sugar.

    • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) 
    • Gastroparesis, also known as stomach paralysis or “frozen stomach”
