GLP-1 injections are increasingly being mentioned as an aid to weight management and are receiving a lot of media attention. This naturally raises questions. How do these medications actually work? Who are they intended for? And is it an appropriate treatment if losing weight through diet and exercise alone doesn\u2019t yield sufficient results? In this blog, we\u2019ll explain what GLP-1 receptor agonists are, how the treatment works, and why a medical consultation is always the first step.      <\/strong><\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile is-image-fill-element\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"539\" src=\"https:\/\/aeprilclinics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Ozempic-injecties-medisch-afvallen-1024x539.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12298 size-full\" style=\"object-position:50% 50%\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aeprilclinics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Ozempic-injecties-medisch-afvallen-1024x539.png 1024w, https:\/\/aeprilclinics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Ozempic-injecties-medisch-afvallen-300x158.png 300w, https:\/\/aeprilclinics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Ozempic-injecties-medisch-afvallen-768x404.png 768w, https:\/\/aeprilclinics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Ozempic-injecties-medisch-afvallen-1536x809.png 1536w, https:\/\/aeprilclinics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Ozempic-injecties-medisch-afvallen-513x270.png 513w, https:\/\/aeprilclinics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Ozempic-injecties-medisch-afvallen.png 1728w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Medical weight loss with injections<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are GLP-1 receptor agonists?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">GLP-1 stands for <strong>glucagon-like peptide 1<\/strong>, a hormone produced naturally by the body. This hormone plays a role in various processes involved in regulating blood sugar levels and the feeling of fullness after a meal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">GLP-1 receptor agonists mimic the action of this naturally occurring hormone. As a result, the feeling of fullness lasts longer and appetite decreases. Many people find that this makes it easier to eat smaller portions and reduces their urge to snack.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/aeprilclinics.nl\/en\/medical-weight-loss-with-injections\/\" type=\"page\" id=\"5288\">Medical weight loss through injections<\/a> is intended to support a healthy lifestyle and cannot be separated from diet, exercise, and medical supervision.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text has-media-on-the-right is-stacked-on-mobile is-image-fill-element\"><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">GLP-1 medication<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What GLP-1 treatments are available?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">GLP-1 receptor agonists are available in various forms. Although they all work on the same principle, they differ in active ingredient, dosage, and method of administration. Which treatment is best for you depends on your personal situation and is always determined during a medical consultation.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>At Aepril Clinics, we offer the following treatments:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/aeprilclinics.nl\/en\/medical-weight-loss\/medical-weight-loss-with-ozempic\/\" type=\"behandeling\" id=\"5279\">Ozempic<\/a><\/strong><br\/>A GLP-1 receptor agonist containing the active ingredient semaglutide, originally developed for the treatment of type 2 diabetes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/aeprilclinics.nl\/en\/medical-weight-loss\/losing-weight-with-mounjaro\/\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/aeprilclinics.nl\/gezondheid\/medisch-afvallen-met-mounjaro\/\">Mounjaro<\/a><\/strong><br\/>A treatment containing the active ingredient tirzepatide, which is used to support weight management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/aeprilclinics.nl\/en\/medical-weight-loss\/medical-weight-loss-with-wegovy\/\" type=\"behandeling\" id=\"5283\">Wegovy<\/a><\/strong><br\/>Also contains semaglutide, but is specifically approved for chronic weight management in eligible patients.<\/p>\n<\/div><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"592\" src=\"https:\/\/aeprilclinics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Mounjaro-resultaten-behandeling-1024x592.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6140 size-full\" style=\"object-position:50% 50%\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aeprilclinics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Mounjaro-resultaten-behandeling-1024x592.png 1024w, https:\/\/aeprilclinics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Mounjaro-resultaten-behandeling-300x174.png 300w, https:\/\/aeprilclinics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Mounjaro-resultaten-behandeling-768x444.png 768w, https:\/\/aeprilclinics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Mounjaro-resultaten-behandeling-1536x889.png 1536w, https:\/\/aeprilclinics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Mounjaro-resultaten-behandeling-467x270.png 467w, https:\/\/aeprilclinics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Mounjaro-resultaten-behandeling.png 1649w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile is-image-fill-element\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/aeprilclinics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_8558-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4358 size-full\" style=\"object-position:50% 50%\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aeprilclinics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_8558-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/aeprilclinics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_8558-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/aeprilclinics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_8558-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/aeprilclinics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_8558-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/aeprilclinics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_8558-203x270.jpg 203w, https:\/\/aeprilclinics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_8558-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Medical supervision<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What does treatment involve?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before treatment begins, a comprehensive medical consultation always takes place. During this consultation, the doctor will discuss, among other things, your health, medical history, medication use, and personal goals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Based on this, a determination is made as to whether treatment with GLP-1 medication is appropriate. If so, the treatment is carefully monitored and evaluated during follow-up appointments. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text has-media-on-the-right is-stacked-on-mobile is-image-fill-element\"><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are GLP-1 injections safe?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">GLP-1 medications have been used for some time in the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Certain GLP-1 medications are now also prescribed to aid in weight management, provided there is a medical indication for their use. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As with any medication, GLP-1 injections can also cause side effects. Especially in the first few weeks, some people experience symptoms such as nausea or gastrointestinal issues. For many users, these symptoms gradually subside as the body adjusts to the medication. That is why we believe careful medical supervision is important. Throughout the course of treatment, we\u2019ll monitor how you respond to the medication, and there will be opportunities to discuss any questions or concerns you may have.    <\/p>\n<\/div><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/aeprilclinics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Mounjaro-toedienen-injectie-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6144 size-full\" style=\"object-position:50% 50%\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aeprilclinics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Mounjaro-toedienen-injectie-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/aeprilclinics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Mounjaro-toedienen-injectie-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/aeprilclinics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Mounjaro-toedienen-injectie-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/aeprilclinics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Mounjaro-toedienen-injectie-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/aeprilclinics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Mounjaro-toedienen-injectie-480x270.png 480w, https:\/\/aeprilclinics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Mounjaro-toedienen-injectie.png 1672w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile is-image-fill-element\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/aeprilclinics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Medisch-afvallen-met-Mounjaro-consult-1024x768.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6138 size-full\" style=\"object-position:50% 50%\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aeprilclinics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Medisch-afvallen-met-Mounjaro-consult-1024x768.png 1024w, https:\/\/aeprilclinics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Medisch-afvallen-met-Mounjaro-consult-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/aeprilclinics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Medisch-afvallen-met-Mounjaro-consult-768x576.png 768w, https:\/\/aeprilclinics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Medisch-afvallen-met-Mounjaro-consult-360x270.png 360w, https:\/\/aeprilclinics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Medisch-afvallen-met-Mounjaro-consult.png 1448w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Not for everyone<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Am I eligible for GLP-1 medication?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Treatment with GLP-1 injections is not suitable for everyone.
