What Are Semaglutide and Tirzepatide?
-
Semaglutide and tirzepatide are prescription medications originally developed for type 2 diabetes management.
-
They belong to a class of medicines that influence how the body regulates blood sugar and appetite.
-
In recent years, they have also been prescribed under medical supervision for weight management in adults with certain health conditions.
At You But Younger, all treatments are prescribed and monitored by qualified medical professionals. Call to discuss and schedule a consultation.
How Do They Work?
Semaglutide and tirzepatide affect hormones involved in appetite and digestion, which may help:
-
Reduce hunger cues
-
Support portion control
-
Help patients feel fuller for longer
Because every patient’s body and health history is different, not everyone will respond in the same way. That’s why personalized medical oversight is essential.
