GLP-1 25mg/5mL is a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist used as a once-weekly injection to support chronic weight management in adults with obesity or who are overweight with weight-related health conditions. It works by reducing appetite, increasing feelings of fullness, and helping to lower calorie intake, which leads to significant and sustained weight loss when combined with diet and exercise.
GLP-1 25mg/5mL is an injectable prescription medication designed to aid in chronic weight management in adults who are classified as obese (BMI ≥30) or overweight (BMI ≥27) with at least one weight-related health condition, such as hypertension, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol. It is part of the GLP-1 receptor agonist drug class and is typically administered once weekly via a subcutaneous injection in the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm. GLP-1 works by mimicking the action of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), a natural hormone that regulates appetite and food intake. It helps suppress hunger, increase satiety (feelings of fullness), and reduce cravings, leading to a decrease in calorie consumption. Additionally, it slows down gastric emptying, which further prolongs the feeling of fullness after eating. Clinical studies have demonstrated that GLP-1, when combined with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity, can lead to significant and sustained weight loss. Many individuals achieve a weight reduction of 15% or more of their initial body weight over the course of treatment. The 25mg/5mL concentration provides a convenient formulation for titrating to higher maintenance doses, under the supervision of a healthcare provider. Dosing typically starts at a lower amount and gradually increases to minimize side effects and allow the body to adjust. Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, and abdominal discomfort, especially during the initial dose escalation period. Less common but serious risks include pancreatitis, gallbladder disease, kidney problems, and a potential risk of thyroid C-cell tumors, based on animal studies. Because of this, GLP-1 is not recommended for people with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) or multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2). GLP-1 for weight loss should be used as part of a comprehensive weight management program that includes a healthy diet, regular exercise, and behavioral changes to support long-term success.
