How These Treatments Work
Mechanism of Action
Weight loss injections, like GLP-1 receptor agonists (e.g., semaglutide, liraglutide), mimic the GLP-1 hormone to enhance insulin secretion, slow gastric emptying, and reduce appetite by acting on brain hunger centers. This leads to lower calorie intake, improved glucose control, and sustained weight loss. Some formulations also affect fat metabolism.
Additional Health Benefits
Weight loss injections, like GLP-1 receptor agonists, offer additional health benefits beyond weight reduction. They improve blood sugar control, lower the risk of type 2 diabetes, reduce cardiovascular disease risk, and enhance metabolic health. These injections also help lower blood pressure, improve cholesterol levels, and reduce inflammation, promoting overall well-being.
Long-term Sustainability
Weight loss injections, like GLP-1 receptor agonists, support long-term weight management by regulating appetite and metabolism. They help sustain weight loss when combined with lifestyle changes. Benefits include improved metabolic health, reduced risk of obesity-related diseases, and enhanced quality of life. Continued use may be needed to maintain results.
Who is eligible for weight loss Injections?
Eligibility for weight loss injections in the UK is primarily determined by Body Mass Index (BMI) and associated health conditions. Adults with a BMI of 30 or higher are generally considered for these treatments. Additionally, individuals with a BMI of 27 or above who have weight-related health issues, such as type 2 diabetes or hypertension, may also qualify. It’s essential to consult with a healthcare professional to assess your specific circumstances and determine the most appropriate treatment plan.
Age restrictions apply to the administration of weight loss injections. Adults aged 18 and over are eligible for these treatments. For adolescents aged 12 and above, eligibility is considered if they are obese and have a body weight exceeding 60 kg. Recent guidelines mandate that prescribers must independently verify a patient’s weight, height, and BMI before prescribing weight loss medications. This ensures accurate assessments and appropriate use of these treatments.
