What are GLP-1 medications?
GLP-1 receptor agonists are a class of injectable medications that regulate appetite, slow gastric emptying and improve insulin response. Originally developed for type 2 diabetes, several are now licensed or commonly used for chronic weight management — including semaglutide (Ozempic / Wegovy), tirzepatide (Mounjaro, dual GIP/GLP-1) and liraglutide (Saxenda).
