Popular Glp 1 Agonists List, Drug Prices and Medication Information

Key takeaways

GLP-1 agonists are used to treat Type 2 diabetes, help with chronic weight management, and reduce the risk of major cardiovascular events in certain people. They work by mimicking the action of the glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) hormone, which helps to increase natural insulin release, decrease the amount of glucose (sugar) the liver makes, and slow down gastric emptying. This leads to better blood glucose balance and weight loss. GLP-1 agonists come in different forms, including oral tablets and injections. Examples include semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy, Rybelsus), liraglutide (Victoza, Saxenda), and dulaglutide (Trulicity). You can discuss with your healthcare team which option might be right for you.
