Many people are frustrated with their weight reduction efforts. A new set of drugs available by injection are available. They are classified as GLP-1 drugs and Ozempic is one example of them.
- GLP-1 drugs: A class of medications that lower blood sugar in people with Type 2 diabetes and also help with weight loss. They include Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, and others.
- Risks and benefits for older adults: These drugs can pose greater risks for people over 65, such as dehydration, muscle loss, and dosage adjustment. However, they can also reduce body fat and prevent other health complications. They should be used under proper supervision and with lifestyle changes.
- Alternatives to GLP-1 drugs: There are other options for managing Type 2 diabetes and weight loss, such as metformin, insulin, endoscopic procedures, and weight-loss surgery. Lifestyle modifications, such as diet, exercise, and hydration, are also essential.
