GLP-1 agonists are a group of medications that are designed to help manage blood sugar levels. While initially intended for treatments for Type 2 diabetes, certain GLP-1 medications can help treat obesity or otherwise reduce unhealthy fat accumulation that can increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, and cancer. These drugs are often combined with dietary and lifestyle adjustments in medical weight loss programs, including the ones OrderlyMeds offers, and can result in weight loss if used correctly.
According to OrderlyMeds, GLP-1 agonists work by emulating the GLP-1 hormone, which is released by the small intestine in response to food. The medication slows stomach emptying and increases and prolongs feelings of satiety; the overall effect is a reduction in appetite, prompting individuals to eat smaller portions and lowering their caloric intake—this is one of the main mechanisms behind weight loss caused by GLP-1 medications.
However, OrderlyMeds’ guide notes that GLP-1s often cause side effects like nausea, burping, and heartburn, especially in individuals who have just begun a course of treatment. If these symptoms result in discomfort, they can be managed with over-the-counter medications, but users are advised to speak to their healthcare provider before relying on these options.
For non-medical symptom management, OrderlyMeds recommends staying hydrated and maintaining electrolyte levels, both of which can help with gastrointestinal discomfort by improving digestion. Similarly, increasing the consumption of fiber- and protein-rich foods and drinks will aid digestion and muscle growth, reducing the impact of symptoms.
Users may also find supplements like vitamin B12 and D3 helpful in managing side effects like low energy levels; these vitamins also have a synergistic effect with GLP-1 medications, though their impact on an individual is dependent on their physiology.
Finally, OrderlyMeds says that the time of day may also affect which side effects occur. Users are encouraged to experiment with injection timing to see what works best for them.
