Both these medicines mimic the action of the body’s natural hormone (GLP-1) which regulates appetite and food intake. GLP-1 is released in the gut after eating and makes you feel full, hence your appetite is reduced. It also delays the time it takes for your stomach to empty, so there is a delayed feeling of hunger. The result of feeling constantly full/satisfied leads to subsequent weight loss.
