glp-1 ra vs glp-1 Understanding semaglutide (GLP-1 RA): Are they the right choice for weight loss? Comparison of short-acting versus long-acting

Description

Mellick, Tara Laurine Roberts, Paul de Souza, Kieran F

As an in-home nurse, Ive seen hundreds of hypothyroid patients finally gain control over their weight, energy, and metabolic health with GLP-1 medications

The reasoning is that your GLP-1 receptor tolerance from semaglutide means the GLP-1 component of tirzepatide will not overwhelm your system, and the GIP component alone is unlikely to cause severe side effects at this dose

Individuals who should not use probiotics without consulting their GP include: Those with severely compromised immune systems (including patients receiving chemotherapy, those with HIV/AIDS, or taking immunosuppressive medications) Patients with central venous catheters or other indwelling medical devices Individuals with short bowel syndrome or intestinal damage People with a history of probiotic-related infections Those with severe acute pancreatitis (where probiotics have been associated with increased mortality in clinical trials) Pregnant and breastfeeding women should discuss probiotic use with their midwife or GP, though many strains are considered safe during pregnancy
