Types of Weight Loss Shots and Their Effects

Semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy): These GLP-1 receptor agonists help regulate blood sugar levels and prolong the feeling of fullness by slowing down digestion. Wegovy is specifically approved for chronic weight management in individuals with a BMI of 27 or greater with at least one weight-related condition, or a BMI of 30 or greater. Side effects can include nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea (Verywell Health) (Drugs.com).
Liraglutide (Saxenda): Another GLP-1 agonist, Saxenda is used for weight management and has been shown to help users lose about 5-15% of their body weight. Common side effects include gastrointestinal issues like nausea and diarrhea (Mya Care).
Tirzepatide (Mounjaro, Zepbound): This dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist has demonstrated significant weight loss in clinical trials, with users losing up to 22% of their body weight. It's primarily used for managing type 2 diabetes but also supports weight loss (Drugs.com).
Botulinum Toxin (Gastric Botox): Used off-label for weight loss, it works by relaxing the stomach muscles to slow digestion and prolong the feeling of fullness. Weight loss results can be seen in the first few weeks and can continue for several months (Hello Klarity).
New and Emerging Therapies: Other injections like Retatrutide, CagriSema, Ecnoglutide, Mazdutide, and Survodutide are under clinical trials and show promise for significant weight loss by various mechanisms, including mimicking hormones that control hunger and fullness (Hello Klarity).
