What Are GLP-1 Receptor Agonists?

GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) receptor agonists are a class of medications that have revolutionised the medical management of obesity. They work by mimicking a naturally occurring gut hormone that regulates appetite, slows gastric emptying, and signals satiety to the brain — helping you feel fuller for longer and significantly reducing caloric intake. These medications are not stimulants, are not habit-forming, and are backed by some of the most robust clinical trial data ever produced in obesity medicine. They work by suppressing appetite through hypothalamic receptors, delaying gastric emptying to prolong fullness, stabilising blood glucose by stimulating insulin release, and reducing the brain's reward response to food — often described by patients as silencing "food noise."

Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at san.86.jog@gmail.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

Are GLP-1 medications safe?

Yes. Semaglutide and tirzepatide have been studied in large-scale clinical trials involving tens of thousands of patients and are approved by major regulatory bodies including the US FDA, European EMA, and health authorities across Asia and the Middle East. Like all medications, they have a side effect profile that is reviewed and monitored during your programme.

Will I regain the weight if I stop the medication?

Weight regain can occur after stopping GLP-1 medications, as obesity is a chronic condition with a biological basis. This is why our programme includes a long-term lifestyle and maintenance plan. Some patients transition to a lower maintenance dose; others are able to maintain their results through sustainable dietary and activity habits established during treatment.

How long does it take to see results?

Most patients notice reduced appetite within the first 1-2 weeks. Measurable weight loss typically begins within the first month and becomes more significant as the dose is titrated upward over 8-20 weeks depending on the medication. Average weight loss results range from 15-22% of body weight over 12-18 months.

How is this different from weight loss pills or fad diets?

GLP-1 medications are prescription treatments backed by robust randomised controlled trial data. They address the underlying hormonal and neurological drivers of appetite and weight — not willpower or motivation. This is clinical, evidence-based medicine, not a quick fix.

Is this available in both Bangalore and Dubai?

Yes. Dr Sanjog offers medical weight management consultations at both his Bangalore and Dubai practices. Specific medication availability may vary by country due to regulatory approvals — this will be discussed at your consultation.
