How quickly does it start to work

GLP-1 medications typically start to show effects within a few weeks, but the speed at which they work can vary from person to person. For weight loss, some people may notice reduced appetite and slight weight loss in the first 2 to 4 weeks. However, significant weight loss usually becomes more noticeable after 8 to 12 weeks of consistent use. When used for blood sugar control in people with diabetes, improvements can often be seen within the first few weeks as well. It’s important to note that GLP-1 meds work best when combined with healthy lifestyle changes, like diet and exercise.
