GLP-1 drugs (glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists) are medications developed to treat both type 2 diabetes and obesity by correcting hormonal imbalance - stimulating insulin release and suppressing excess glucagon -to bring blood sugar back under control
Blood sugars go up from the food we consume, and the pancreas secretes insulin to help the body figure out what to do with that glucose
Compounded Medications When discussing side effects like chest pain, it is important to distinguish between the types of medications available
Notably, liraglutide (LEADER trial) and semaglutide (SUSTAIN-6 trial) have demonstrated cardiovascular benefits, including reductions in cardiovascular death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, and non-fatal stroke
Tirzepatide binds both GLP-1 and GIP receptors, whereas semaglutide binds GLP-1 alone
