PEPTIDE GLP-1 & GIP INJECTIONS
Semaglutide works by mimicking the effects of a hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), which regulates appetite and food intake.
Tirzepatide functions by replicating the actions of the naturally occurring GLP-1 and GIP hormones, which are released by the intestine post-meal, stimulating insulin release.

Oral Appetite Suppressants
Phentermine: Acts as an appetite suppressant by stimulating the release of neurotransmitters that reduce hunger.
Qsymia: Combines phentermine and topiramate; phentermine suppresses appetite while topiramate enhances satiety and reduces food cravings.
Tesofensine aids weight loss by reducing appetite and cravings through its action as a serotonin-norepinephrine-dopamine reuptake inhibitor, while also potentially increasing energy expenditure and fat oxidation.
Diethylpropion: Functions as an appetite suppressant, helping to decrease overall food intake.
Contrave: Combines naltrexone and bupropion; naltrexone targets brain pathways involved in food cravings, and bupropion affects appetite and energy expenditure.
Metformin: Improves insulin sensitivity and reduces insulin levels, which can help decrease appetite and support weight loss.
