Many people struggle to lose weight even when they try dieting and exercise.

In recent years, medical weight loss treatments using GLP-1 medications have become increasingly popular worldwide. These treatments help regulate appetite and metabolism, making weight management easier and more sustainable.

At Saza Central Clinic in Nagasaki, we offer physician-supervised medical weight loss treatments using medications such as Mounjaro and Rybelsus.

Our goal is to support patients in achieving safe and gradual weight loss under medical supervision.

What Is Medical Weight Loss? ⚕️

Medical weight loss is a weight management program supervised by a physician.

Unlike traditional dieting, medical weight loss focuses on the biological mechanisms related to weight gain, including:

• appetite regulation

• metabolism

• insulin resistance

• hormonal balance

Medications such as GLP-1 receptor agonists help patients feel full sooner and reduce food cravings.

Many patients find that medical weight loss treatment helps them control appetite more easily than dieting alone.

GLP-1 Weight Loss Treatment

GLP-1 medications are used internationally as a treatment for obesity and metabolic disorders.

These medications work by:

• reducing appetite

• slowing gastric emptying

• stabilizing blood glucose levels

• improving insulin sensitivity

Because of these effects, many patients experience gradual and sustainable weight loss.

Mounjaro (GIP / GLP-1 Receptor Agonist) 💉

Mounjaro is a medication administered once weekly as a subcutaneous injection.

It activates both GIP and GLP-1 receptors, helping regulate appetite and metabolism.

Many patients experience:

• reduced hunger

• easier portion control

• fewer cravings

• gradual weight loss

At Saza Central Clinic, patients may receive injections at the clinic or learn self-injection under physician guidance.

Rybelsus (Oral GLP-1 Medication) 💊

For patients who prefer oral medication, Rybelsus is also available.

Rybelsus is taken once daily as a tablet and works similarly to injectable GLP-1 treatments.

Benefits may include:

• appetite suppression

• improved glucose control

• gradual weight reduction

This option is popular among patients who prefer non-injection treatments.

⸻

Lusefi (SGLT2 Inhibitor) 💊

Lusefi is an oral medication classified as an SGLT2 inhibitor.

This medication works by helping the kidneys remove excess glucose from the body through urine. By reducing glucose reabsorption in the kidneys, it helps lower blood sugar levels.

As glucose is excreted from the body, some calories are also eliminated, which may contribute to gradual weight management.

Potential benefits may include:

• improved blood glucose control

• elimination of excess glucose through urine

• support for gradual weight management

Lusefi is taken once daily as an oral medication and may be considered as part of a medical weight management plan depending on each patient’s health condition.

Safety and Medical Monitoring 🩺

Patient safety is our top priority.

Before starting treatment, the physician evaluates each patient’s health condition.

If necessary, medical tests can be performed to assess the patient’s health status.

Available examinations may include:

• blood tests

• X-ray examinations

• CT scans

• electrocardiogram (ECG)

• vision tests

• hearing tests

Blood tests may include evaluation of:

• complete blood count (CBC)

• liver function

• kidney function

• blood glucose

• HbA1c

• electrolyte balance

These examinations help ensure that treatment can be provided safely while monitoring each patient’s health condition.
