Weight loss injections are a popular option for those looking to shed pounds quickly. These injections work by mimicking a hormone called GLP1, which helps lower blood sugar levels. While they were originally developed for diabetics, weight loss injections have also been found to suppress appetite and lead to significant weight loss.
Saxenda was the first injection on the market and resulted in an 8% body weight loss. However, Ozmepic and Vigobi have since become even more popular due to their effectiveness at weight loss and appetite suppression. The dosage of Vigobi is 2.4 milligrams, and it is taken gradually to reduce side effects.
It’s important to note that treatment with weight loss injections should continue until the desired weight loss is achieved. Stopping the treatment is possible at any time, but those who stop may experience weight regain. The cost of the injections ranges from NIS 600 to NIS 1,250, depending on the dose.
While these injections can be effective at helping people lose weight quickly, it’s important to remember that a healthy lifestyle including proper nutrition and exercise is necessary for optimal results. Common side effects of the injections include bloating, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. However, overall the medication is considered safe for chronic patients and has been shown to reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes by 20% in overweight individuals with a history of heart disease.
As of next week, Vigobi will be available in pharmacies across Croatia but there may be a shortage due to high demand. It’s important for anyone considering using these medications to consult with their doctor before starting treatment as they must be prescribed by a private doctor rather than health insurance funds doctors.
In conclusion, while weight loss injections can be an effective option for those looking to lose weight quickly, it’s important to remember that they should not be used as a replacement for a healthy lifestyle including proper nutrition and exercise. It’s also important for anyone considering using these medications to consult with their doctor before starting treatment as there may be potential side effects and interactions with other medications that need to be taken into consideration.
