How Does GLP-1 Medication Work, and Is It a Pill or Shot?


How GLP-1 Medications Are Administered

GLP-1 medications are injectable—a small weekly shot you give yourself at home.

What to expect:

  • The needle is tiny (similar to an insulin needle)

  • Most users barely feel it after the first time

  • Takes about 30 seconds once per week

  • Becomes a simple part of your weekly routine


How GLP-1 Works in Your Body

The injection delivers medication directly where your body needs it:

  • Regulates appetite — reduces cravings and hunger signals

  • Slows digestion — helps you feel fuller longer

  • Supports healthy blood sugar levels — stabilizes energy throughout the day
