Any effort to eliminate the kilos is interpreted by the body as a threat.
Any medicine has a different action in the body; Find out how the pens for weight loss act in the fight against obesity
Medicines to encourage weight loss are so important for a person with obesity as a vasodilator remedy for a hypertensive. Vasodilators increase the caliber of the blood vessels, inhibiting the consequences of the high pressure. In the case of pharmacies against obesity, the actions are more different: some turbo are the feeling of satiety; Others make fat digestion difficult. However, the goal is one: help the patient lose weight.
“Obesity does not have a cure. So if the intervention ceases, the disease returns. This happens in the same way with all chronic diseases, such as diabetes, hypertension and dyslipidemia, for example”, explains the endocrinologist Fabiana Mandel Cyrulnik. Dyslipidemia is the abnormal presence of fat in the blood.
There is another peculiarity in obesity: any movement that the patient makes the proposal is interpreted by the body as a threat. It is as if the human body activates biological mechanisms to preserve its weight, including the most exacerbated hunger and the drop in metabolism. “Therefore, this is not a lack of will or laziness: the body fights weight loss,” says the doctor.
Our ancestors
But why does the body protect efforts to eliminate extra kilos? The explanation of this is in the evolutionary question. Thousands of years ago, long before the agricultural revolution, our ancestors have developed body weight conservation techniques to face adversity and guarantee survival in a hostile environment. For this, they instinctively opted for highly caloric foods and intense consumption of available food, regardless of hunger.
Evolution has an advanced nature, dominated by man, but this continuous need for increasing body weight has remained in us. It is as if the brain had not assimilated the speed of this evolutionary progress. Therefore, it deduces that the adoption of a restrictive diet is a risk for survival and must be prohibited. This response from the brain to weight loss is one more reason to consider the importance of medicines in this process.
Auxiliaries in action
In Brazil, the medicines used for weight loss are Sibuttramine, ornistas, fixed oral combination of injectable (liraglutide, semaglutide) lpg-1 (liraglutada) and gip (tirzepatida), also injectable (liraglutid) analogues. Liraglutide, trafficlutide and type are the weight loss pens thus exchanged. Each of these drugs acts differently in the body.
For the supplementary doctor Cleugo Porto, people with obesity should always look for a specialist if they want to lose weight. According to him, only a doctor is able to make adequate prescriptions, administer medicines in support (for example against anxiety) and define the evolution of the treatment, including the maintenance doses or any substitutions of drugs, depending on the conditions and needs of each patient.
Important: from this month, pharmacies and pharmacies throughout the country have started to retain the revenues of the penne for weight loss, whose sale was previously free. The decision of a more rigorous control in the prescription of this type of medicine was taken by Anvisa (National Health Surveillance Agency) in April of this year, entering into force only now. The validity of revenues, according to Anvisa, is 90 days from the date of issue.
How any medicine acts?
– Sibutramine: reduces appetite and increases satiety by inhibiting the reception of neurotransmitters of serotonin and norepinephrine in the brain;
– ORIST: decreases the absorption of fat in the intestine. It is able to prevent digestion of 30% of the fat ingested;
– Analogues LPG-1: these are the slimming pens. Sprinkle the LPG-1 hormone, produced by the intestine. They feel satiated and slow down the emptying of the stomach. The Thyrzepatida drug imitates not only GLP-1, but also the GIP hormone;
– Bupropion + Natrexone: This combination reduces appetite. While the bupropion raises dopamine and norepinephrine, the Naltrexone acts against chemical dependence.
