GLP-1
short for “glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists,” medications that mimic GLP, a hormone that regulates blood sugar levels and appetite. These drugs were initially prescribed to treat Type 2 diabetes, but some are now approved for weight management in people age 12 or older. Most notable of these are exenatide, dulaglutide, liraglutide, semaglutide, and tirzepatide
