💊 Did you know some medications commonly used for weight management are also FDA-approved for other health conditions?
If you have obesity along with other health concerns, it's worth talking with your healthcare provider about your treatment options.
Two examples:
🔹 Zepbound® (tirzepatide)
FDA-approved for chronic weight management and also for moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in adults with obesity.
🔹 Wegovy® (semaglutide)
FDA-approved for chronic weight management and also for MASH (metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis) — formerly called NASH — in adults with moderate-to-advanced liver fibrosis.
MASH is a form of fatty liver disease that can cause inflammation and liver scarring.
And what about Ozempic® and Mounjaro®?
These medications have FDA-approved indications that include type 2 diabetes, while their active ingredients are also available under different brand names for other indications.
👉 If you have obesity, sleep apnea, fatty liver disease, diabetes, or other weight-related health concerns, your treatment plan should be individualized to your medical history and insurance coverage.
At Jarvis Healthcare, we can evaluate your health history, discuss appropriate treatment options, and help determine whether a medication-based weight-management approach may be appropriate for you.
