What is the Best Weight Loss Injection: What Houston Patients Should Know
Intro
Looking for the best weight loss shot in Houston? Injections like semaglutide (Ozempic®, Wegovy®) and tirzepatide (Mounjaro®, Zepbound®) are helping patients achieve dramatic weight loss—often more than 15–20% of body weight. Here’s what makes these injectables so powerful and how you can access them at TeleSlim Clinic Houston.
💉 What Are Weight Loss Injections?
Weight loss injections are medications that are self-administered once a week using a tiny subcutaneous needle. They’re most often GLP-1 or GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonists—hormone-based therapies that regulate appetite and metabolism.
🔹 Semaglutide (Ozempic® / Wegovy®)
- Mimics GLP-1, a hormone that slows digestion and reduces hunger
- FDA-approved for both type 2 diabetes and obesity
- Average weight loss: 15% of body weight over 6–12 months
- Side effects: nausea, constipation, fatigue (usually temporary)
🔹 Tirzepatide (Mounjaro® / Zepbound®)
- Dual action: GLP-1 and GIP receptor agonist
- Often results in even greater weight loss than semaglutide
- Ideal for those with insulin resistance, PCOS, or high BMI
- Side effects: similar to semaglutide, with enhanced glucose control
🆚 How Do They Compare to Pills?
- Pills like Qsymia® or Contrave® offer 5–10% weight loss
- Injections often provide 15–20% weight loss or more
- Pills may be better for short-term use or mild obesity
- Injections are more effective for moderate-to-severe obesity or metabolic syndrome
