The operation
What are GLP-1 medicines and how do they work?
GLP-1 is a hormone that occurs naturally in your body and regulates your appetite in various ways. GLP-1 medication mimics this effect, making you feel full more quickly and making it easier to lose weight.
The medication prescribed by Aevita has been approved by the EMA and is only dispensed following a medical assessment by a doctor.
Reduced cravings
GLP-1 also acts on reward centers in the brain, reducing cravings for unhealthy food.
Delayed gastric emptying
Food leaves your stomach more slowly, keeping you full longer and keeping blood sugar levels more stable.
Stable blood sugar
Insulin production is stimulated when needed, which reduces energy dips and sugar spikes.
Suitability
For whom are GLP-1 medicines suitable?
GLP-1 medications are only prescribed if you meet the medical criteria.
