GLP-1 therapy
GLP-1 Medications for Weight Loss in Arizona
GLP-1 medications act on the hormones that control appetite and fullness. They can reduce hunger and cravings and help you feel full sooner. These are the options your clinician may discuss:
Tirzepatide
Sold as Zepbound for chronic weight management and as Mounjaro for type 2 diabetes. It acts on both GLP-1 and GIP hormone receptors and is also taken once a week.
Nutrition and activity
Medication works best alongside realistic changes to eating, movement and sleep. Your plan includes practical steps you can keep up.
Monitoring and side effects
Nausea, constipation and other stomach side effects are common early on. Follow-up visits are used to review progress, side effects and the dose.
