How Do Prescription Weight Loss Medications Work?
Medications for weight loss belong to different drug classes and have different mechanisms of action, such as:
- Lowering hunger, which helps to consume fewer calories.
- Boosting metabolism, which may result in a faster rate of calorie burning.
- Preventing the body from absorbing dietary lipids, which lowers calorie intake.
The Use of GLP-1 Agonists for Weight Loss
Some medications for type 2 diabetes appeared to be effective for weight loss. One such category is glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists:
- Ozempic
- Wegovy
- Rybelsus
- Mounjaro
- Saxenda
- Metformin
These and other medications in this class help regulate appetite and glucose metabolism, improve metabolism, decrease the time needed for stomach emptying, and more. Some GLP-1 medications are FDA-approved as a part of weight management plans, and others may be prescribed off-label. Note that all of them have specific contraindications and potential side effects, so the choice is made after a detailed health assessment.

- A complete blood count
- Thyroid panel
- Kidney and liver function tests
- Electrolyte panel
- Inflammation tests
- Blood sugar test
How much should I weigh?
You can calculate your normal weight using BMI calculation (body mass index). Normally, a BMI of 18.5 to 24.9 is considered healthy. However, normal weight should be determined individually, considering not just one’s height but also several other factors, including age, fat and muscle mass, and health specifics.
What is a normal BMI?
For adults, a BMI between 18.5 and 24.9 is considered to indicate a normal or healthy weight. A BMI of less than 18.5 means underweight, while a BMI of 25.0 to 29.9 means overweight. A BMI of 30.0 and higher is in the obese range.
How can I lose weight online?
Online weight loss doctors can offer guidance based on a detailed health assessment. You can also receive medication prescriptions online if deemed appropriate in your case. Note that weight loss medication should be supplemented with a balanced diet, exercise, and other beneficial routines to increase the chances for stable results.
