Understanding Your Options — and How to Store Them Safely with DISONCARE
GLP-1 medications have changed the way people manage both type 2 diabetes and weight loss. With so many options — like Ozempic®, Wegovy®, Mounjaro®, and Rybelsus® — it’s natural to wonder which one works best for losing weight.
While all GLP-1 medications share similar mechanisms, each has its own strengths. Let’s explore the differences — and how to protect your medication’s potency with reliable cooling.
⚙️ How GLP-1 Medications Work
GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) drugs mimic a natural hormone that:
-
Regulates blood sugar levels
-
Slows stomach emptying (so you feel full longer)
-
Reduces appetite and cravings
These combined effects help promote gradual, sustainable weight loss — but the right choice for you depends on your goals and health needs.
🔍 Comparing the Most Common GLP-1 Medications
| Medication | Active Ingredient | Approved Use | Weight-Loss Effect | Dosing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wegovy® | Semaglutide | Obesity or overweight with health conditions | Most significant weight loss (~15% of body weight) | Weekly injection |
| Ozempic® | Semaglutide | Type 2 diabetes | Moderate to strong weight loss (~10–12%) | Weekly injection |
| Mounjaro® (Tirzepatide) | Dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist | Type 2 diabetes | Highest average weight loss (15–20% in studies) | Weekly injection |
| Rybelsus® | Semaglutide (oral tablet) | Type 2 diabetes | Modest weight loss (~5%) | Daily tablet |
💡 Wegovy® and Mounjaro® currently lead clinical results for weight reduction — but your healthcare provider can help find the best fit for your body, goals, and insurance coverage.
🧊 Keeping GLP-1 Medications Safe and Effective
All injectable GLP-1 medications (like Ozempic®, Wegovy®, and Mounjaro®) require refrigeration between 2–8°C (35–46°F) before use. Once opened, they can usually be kept at room temperature for limited periods — but precise cooling is key to maintaining potency.
That’s where DISONCARE Medication Coolers come in:

Maintains 2–8°C for up to 30 hours
-
Compact and TSA-friendly for air travel

Whether you’re traveling or storing medication at work, DISONCARE keeps your GLP-1 protected — so you never skip a dose.
🌿 Choosing the Best GLP-1 for You
The “best” GLP-1 medication depends on several factors:
-
Your health goals: Diabetes management vs. pure weight loss
-
How your body reacts: Side effects and tolerance vary
-
Convenience: Weekly injections vs. daily tablets
-
Doctor’s guidance: Always consult a healthcare provider before switching or starting medication
Consistency is key. The right medication — paired with steady habits and proper storage — will help you see sustainable, long-term results.
