Weight Loss Drugs Effective, but Not a Complete Solution, Experts Say

Some new medicines can help people lose weight by mimicking hormones in the body.

These drugs, like semaglutide and tirzepatide, can help control appetite and blood sugar, leading to weight loss.

While these drugs can be very effective, they also come with potential side effects such as nausea.

They are also expensive.

A big concern is that people often regain weight when they stop taking the medicine, so lifestyle changes like diet and exercise are important.

Experts recommend combining these drugs with healthy habits for the best and most lasting results.
