GLP-1 agonist medications are a genuinely revolutionary class of medications that put achieving a healthy body weight within reach for most people.

The most well known of these medications, and the most affordable, is semaglutide (commonly sold under the brand names Ozempic® and Wegovy®).

A new medication called tirzepatide (brand name Mounjaro®) is also available. This medication binds to an additional receptor called the glucose-dependent insulinoptropic polypeptide (GIP), intensifying its treatment effect.
