FAQs
What are the medications that pureSKIN utilizes?
GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) medications are a class of drugs used to treat type 2 diabetes by improving blood sugar control. GLP-1 is a naturally occurring hormone that stimulates insulin release from the pancreas, inhibits glucagon secretion, slows down gastric emptying, and promotes a feeling of fullness, which helps in regulating blood sugar levels. GLP-1 medications mimic the effects of this hormone to enhance the body's response to glucose and promote overall glycemic control.
What are GLP-1 medications?
Semaglutide:
-
- Semaglutide is a long-acting GLP-1 receptor agonist.
- It is administered once weekly through a subcutaneous injection.
- Semaglutide has shown efficacy in reducing blood sugar levels, promoting weight loss, and improving cardiovascular outcomes.
Tirzepatide:
- Tirzepatide is a dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and GLP-1 receptor agonist.
- This medication has a broader mechanism of action, as it targets both the GLP-1 and GIP receptors, which are involved in blood sugar regulation.
- Tirzepatide is being investigated for its potential to provide superior glycemic control and greater weight loss compared to traditional GLP-1 agonists.
- It is administered once weekly through subcutaneous injections.
What are the side effects?
GLP-1 receptor agonist medications, while generally well-tolerated, may cause certain side effects. Some of the common side effects include but are not limited to:
- Gastrointestinal Issues:
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Constipation
- Injection Site Reactions:
- Redness
- Swelling
- Itching at the injection site
- Hypoglycemia:
- Especially when used in combination with other diabetes medications that lower blood sugar
- Headache:
- Some individuals may experience headaches as a side effect
