How do weight-loss injections work? 💉

They help suppress your appetite, allowing you to feel full sooner and stay satisfied longer. As a result, you naturally eat less throughout the day, making it easier to stay consistent with healthier habits.

Always talk to your provider to see if this type of treatment is right for you.

What are the side effects of weight-loss injections?
Like any medication, these treatments can come with side effects — and most of them are very common and mild.

The most uncomfortable side effects tend to be the GI symptoms, especially cramping or stomach upset, but they’re still considered common with these injections.

Always talk with your provider about what you’re experiencing so they can help guide you through your weight-loss journey safely and comfortably.
