General Information:
Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists are used to assist with weight loss in the context of healthy lifestyle changes like diet and exercise. This is not recommended as first-line therapy. It may have side-effects or worsen certain medical conditions such as pancreatitis, kidney problems, diabetic eye issues, or hypoglycemia (low sugars) in type 1 diabetes or when used with other diabetes medications. You should not use it if you have a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2, or allergy to any GLP-1 medications or components.

Should I use this Medication?
The traditional use of weight loss medications is for individuals with a BMI of 30 and above or to those who are overweight who have associated health conditions. Using it for BMI ranges (27-29) without an accompanying health condition is termed "off-label." Using a medication "off-label" refers to the practice of prescribing a drug for a purpose, age group, dosage, or form of administration that is not included in the approved labeling by regulatory agencies like the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). While a medication undergoes rigorous testing for specific uses before receiving approval, healthcare providers may discover through clinical experience or research that it can be effective for treating other conditions. There may be benefits such as weight reduction for individuals within your range. If you agree to this off-label use, it's crucial to follow the prescribed regimen and report any concerns. Please direct any questions to our clinicians.
