What glp 1 drugs are fda approved for weight loss?

I've heard about these new GLP-1 medications for weight loss, and I'm considering them. Can anyone share which ones are specifically FDA approved for weight loss? It's all a bit overwhelming.

Wegovy and Saxenda are actually the FDA approved ones for weight loss, yaar. People confuse them with Ozempic, but Ozempic is technically approved for type 2 diabetes. Don't blindly take anything without asking a doc, serious scene ho sakta hai.

Wegovy and Saxenda are FDA approved. Being a high BP patient, my doctor told me that while these help with weight, keeping a check on blood pressure and doing regular kidney function tests is absolutely mandatory during the treatment.

Wegovy is the FDA approved one for weight loss. I hear it basically kills your cravings for all the tasty street food, which sounds a bit sad for a foodie like me! But yes, it works by making you feel full very quickly.

Wegovy (semaglutide) and Saxenda (liraglutide) are FDA approved specifically for weight loss. Make sure to consult a specialist before deciding.

Wegovy has been FDA approved for teens too now. My daughter has struggled with severe weight issues due to insulin resistance, so we discussed this with her pediatrician. Please don't start anything without a specialist's supervision, especially for kids.

Wegovy and Saxenda are approved. Having PCOS, I know how hard it is to lose even a kilo, but please discuss with a doctor first as these medications can have intense digestive side effects. It is a long journey and we have to be gentle with our bodies.
