FDA’s Newly Approved Prescription Medication for Rapid Weight Loss is Now on Sale, Guarantees About 15-20% Weight Loss in Weeks

Jan 17, 2023

The biggest news for 2023 is that the FDA has approved Wegovy, Ozempic, and Mounjaro as weight loss medication for people looking to lose weight in a healthy and efficient manner

United States - January 17, 2023 —

For many around the world, their top new year resolution is to lose weight. The problem with many weight loss systems and tips are unsafe and not recommended. The FDA has been very vocal about how unsafe weight loss options are today and why people must desist from trying most of them. Additionally, the US agency did not approve the weight loss options, diets, and tips and since the concept began, there has not been an FDA-approved medication for weight loss.

However, all that is changing as the FDA has approved both Mounjaro and Wegovy. These two medications are the most effective weight loss medication to be approved by the FDA. The clinical trials showed a 15-20% loss in patients’ body weights. With Mounjaro and Wegovy, weight loss will now become successful and effective.

Mounjaro is an injectable prescription medicine that is used along with diet and exercise to improve blood sugar (glucose) in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. People taking Mounjaro lost up to 25 pounds in clinical trials. Mounjaro is not a weight loss drug but can produce rapid weight loss. Individual results may vary. ‡In studies with or without other diabetes medications, weight loss in adults ranged from 12 lbs. (5 mg) to 25 lbs. (15 mg).

Speaking about some potential side effects, Dr. Rashmi Gulati, MD, the founder of Patients Medical had this to say, “It is not known if Mounjaro can be used in people who have had inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis). What we do know is that Mounjaro is not for use in people with type 1 diabetes. It is also not known if Mounjaro is safe and effective for use in children under 18 years of age. People respond to medicines differently, so there is no set time for when you can expect to see results. At your appointment, we can discuss what might be a realistic expectation for you.”

For intake, Mounjaro is taken once a week, any time of day, with or without food. It should be taken on the same day every week at a tie that is most convenient. On the other end of the weight loss medication prescription is Wegovy. It is an injectable prescription medicine used for adults with obesity (BMI over 30) or excess weight (BMI over 27) who also have medical-related medical problems to help them lose weight and keep the weight off. Wegovy should be used with a reduced-calorie meal plan and increased physical activity.

The medicine works by mimicking a hormone that targets areas of the brain involved in regulating appetite and food intake. This will help consumers eat less, which leads to weight loss. In a 68-week medical study of 1,961 adults living with obesity or excess weight with a related medical problem, adults lost ~35 lbs. (or ~15% body weight).

People taking a placebo lost an average of 6 lbs. (or ~2.5% of body weight). The average starting weight for both groups was ~232 lbs. Like Mounjaro, Wegovy is to be taken once a week, any time of the day, with or without food. Last, there is Ozempic®. It is a medicine for adults with type 2 diabetes that, along with diet and exercise, may improve blood sugar. While not for weight loss, Ozempic® may help a patient lose some weight.

During clinical trials, adults taking Ozempic® lost up to 14 pounds. Two other studies showed results summarized below:

●     Ozempic®: 8 lbs (0.5 mg) and 10 lbs (1 mg) vs placebo: 3 lb

●     Ozempic®: 12 lbs (1 mg) and 14 lbs (2 mg)

from an average starting weight of 202 lb and 219 lb, respectively.
