Mazdutide

Uses of Mazdutide

Mazdutide is used to treat overweight and obesity in adults. It functions as a dual agonist targeting both the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) and the glucagon receptor (GCGR). Through its action on GLP-1R, Mazdutide decreases appetite and slows gastric emptying, aiding in weight loss. Its activation of GCGR boosts energy expenditure, promotes fatty acid oxidation, enhances lipolysis, and lowers liver fat.

Precautions and Warnings

Mazdutide can cause mild to moderate stomach problems, such as nausea or diarrhea. People with existing stomach issues or a history of gastrointestinal disorders should use it carefully. It’s important to avoid Mazdutide if you’re allergic to any of its ingredients. Always consult your doctor before starting the medication, especially if you’re taking other drugs, to avoid potential interactions. Regular monitoring is advised to manage any side effects effectively.

Dosage

The recommended starting dose of Mazdutide is 4 mg, administered once weekly via subcutaneous injection. Based on individual response and tolerability, the dose may be increased to 6 mg weekly. Follow your healthcare provider’s instructions for proper dosing and administration.
