What are Weight Loss Injections?
Weight loss injections are prescription medications used as part of a medically supervised weight management plan. At ProMD Health Bethesda, these injections include semaglutide and tirzepatide (often misspelled “tirezepatide”), which are incretin-based medications that work with your body’s appetite and metabolism signals.
These medications help many patients feel fuller sooner, stay satisfied longer, and experience fewer cravings. They can also slow how quickly the stomach empties and support healthier blood sugar regulation, which may make it easier to follow a reduced-calorie nutrition plan and build consistent habits over time.
Most protocols involve a once-weekly injection with a gradual dose increase to improve tolerability. Your plan should always be personalized and monitored by a licensed medical provider, since candidacy, side effects, and safety considerations vary from person to person.
