These medications work by mimicking a hormone  that naturally occurs in the body. This hormone is released by the gut in response to food intake and helps regulate blood sugar levels, appetite, and body weight.
​
For weight loss, this activation leads to reduced hunger and increased feelings of fullness, which can help in achieving and maintaining weight loss. It also slows down the rate at which food moves through the stomach, further contributing to a sense of fullness. All patients who qualify for this treatment will be closely monitored.
