  • Semaglutide, like many weight loss regimens, works by directly affecting the hunger and weight of the individual. Classified as a GLP-1 type drug, Semaglutide includes semaglutide and liraglutide. The main function of Semaglutide is to slow down the rate at which food is transferred from the stomach to the intestines, which provides the patient with the feeling that their stomach is full. Semaglutide and similar drugs also enter the bloodstream, allowing them to access the nervous system. By accessing the nervous system, they help to better control appetite and overall food intake. 

  • Semaglutide was approved by the FDA as a treatment to improve an individual’s blood sugar and help those with diabetes avoid the likelihood of heart disease. It has also been approved by the FDA as a weight loss drug, and studies have shown that it does, in fact, help with weight loss by curbing appetite and optimizing the function of the rate at which food is transferred from the stomach to the intestines.

  • Insurance coverage for this type of medication varies depending on the insurer; however, semaglutide (Wegovy®, Ozempic®, Rybelsus®) and liraglutide (Saxenda®) are all FDA-approved. 

  • Tirzepatide, also known as Mounjaro, works for weight loss by affecting several physiological processes. It impacts the body's insulin levels, blood glucose (sugar) production, and hunger hormones, helping to regulate these elements in a way that promotes weight loss. Additionally, it helps the patient feel full on less food and slows the passage of food through the digestive tract. Tirzepatide has also been shown to decrease food intake and modulate fat utilization.

  • Tirzepatide is used once weekly. It is a GLP-1 and GIP agonist, which means it encourages the body to secrete more of certain hormones that help regulate appetite and energy use. It also works to lower blood sugar levels by increasing the production of insulin and decreasing the amount of sugar produced by the liver.

  • Some insurers may cover the cost of Tirzepatide, especially if it is being used to manage a medical condition like diabetes or obesity. However, it's essential for patients to check with their specific insurance provider to determine whether this medication is covered under their plan.
