Summary: Mounjaro and Wegovy are both weekly GLP-1 receptor agonist injections for weight loss, but they vary in their actions, with Mounjaro being a dual receptor agonist, and Wegovy also approved for reducing cardiovascular risk
Stopping GLP1-RAs without a management plan may lead to worsening control of diabetes and excessive weight gain, both of which are associated with pregnancy complications

In the context of weight loss, different peptides target different mechanisms: Appetite regulation: Some peptides mimic gut hormones like GLP-1 and GIP that signal satiety to the brain Fat metabolism: Others stimulate lipolysis (fat breakdown) or inhibit lipogenesis (fat storage) Growth hormone optimization: GH-releasing peptides improve body composition by increasing fat oxidation and preserving lean muscle mass Insulin sensitivity: Several peptides improve how the body processes glucose, reducing fat storage Unlike over-the-counter weight loss supplements, these peptides are prescription medications or clinically administered therapies that have been studied in controlled trials
