New Weight Loss Injections Proving Effective in Helping People Shed Pounds

Weight loss injections are a popular option for people looking to shed some pounds. These injections work by mimicking a hormone called GLP1, which helps lower blood sugar levels. They were originally developed for diabetics, but they have also been found to suppress appetite and lead to significant weight loss.

The first injection, Saxenda, resulted in an impressive 8% body weight loss. However, Ozmepic and Vigobi were even more effective for weight loss and appetite suppression. The dosage of the Vigobi injection is 2.4 milligrams, and it is taken gradually to reduce side effects. It is important to note that this medication must be prescribed by a private doctor as doctors in health insurance funds are not required to prescribe it. The medication will be available in pharmacies starting next week, but there may be a shortage due to high demand.

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. It’s important to keep in mind that while these injections can help with weight loss, 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, these side effects are generally mild and can be managed with over-the-counter medications or dietary changes. While these injections can help with weight loss, it’s important to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new treatment plan
