Wegovy (semaglutide) is a popular GLP-1 receptor agonist for weight loss, but some patients seek alternatives due to side effects, cost, or personal preferences. Various medical and non-medical strategies can support weight management goals.
Saxenda is an FDA-approved injectable medication for weight loss, similar to Wegovy, working by suppressing appetite and increasing satiety. It is often prescribed when Wegovy is unsuitable.
Ozempic, another GLP-1 receptor agonist, is primarily used for diabetes but has weight loss benefits. It may be prescribed off-label as an alternative for weight management under medical supervision.
Trulicity is used for type 2 diabetes but has shown weight loss effects. It can be an alternative for patients needing both diabetes control and weight reduction.
These approaches are essential complements or alternatives to medication, especially for mild to moderate weight concerns or as part of a comprehensive plan.
Surgical procedures like gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy offer significant weight loss benefits for patients with severe obesity, particularly when other treatments have failed. These options require evaluation by specialized healthcare providers.
