exendin-4 tirzepatide Structures of natural exendin-4, GLP-1 and several GLP-1 peptide drugs π¦ Did you know this
Description
FDA-approved medications (Wegovy, Ozempic, Zepbound, Mounjaro) are prescribed when appropriate
For example, Wegovy (semaglutide 2.4 mg) has a gradual dose escalation over 16-20 weeks, and adverse effects are more common during this escalation period according to product information
However, the synergistic effect of the GLP-1 and leptin on energy balance and peripheral metabolism is unclear
At minimum, give yourself 12 to 16 weeks at a therapeutic dose, typically 10mg or higher, before concluding that tirzepatide is not working
When side effects outweigh benefits, stopping makes sense
