Medication Details: All About GLP-1
What is GLP-1?
GLP-1 drugs are a class of medications that mimic the incretin hormone GLP-1 to aid in blood sugar control and appetite regulation.
How It Works:
They stimulate insulin secretion, suppress glucagon release, and slow gastric emptying. This leads to improved glucose levels and weight loss.
Dosage & Administration:
Available as daily or weekly injections (e.g., liraglutide, semaglutide) and as oral tablets in some forms. Dosing varies by specific drug and indication.
Side Effects & Safety:
Common side effects include gastrointestinal discomfort. Serious but rare risks include pancreatitis and kidney issues. Monitor thyroid and renal function as needed.
Conditions Treated:
GLP-1 is commonly used to support the management of:
- Type 2 diabetes
- Obesity and overweight
