榴莲视频 spoke with experts during an Instagram Live 2 years ago about the growing buzz around GLP-1 receptor agonists and their role in transforming diabetes and obesity care. Since then, the use of medications like semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy) and tirzepatide (Mounjaro, Zepbound) has become even more widespread as the drugs' list of proven and potential benefits grow.

Recent research has suggested that GLP-1 agonists may offer benefits for people with alcohol, opioid, and tobacco use disorders, and shown associations between use of the drug class and a lower risk of Alzheimer's disease. Studies have also tied GLP-1 drugs to reduced risk of COVID-19 mortality, obesity-related cancers, and glaucoma in certain patients.

However, the drugs have their limits -- such as weight-loss plateaus and weight regain after stopping treatment -- and as their popularity grows, questions remain about perioperative and long-term safety, compounded drug risks, as well as equitable access and affordability.

In an upcoming Instagram Live, 榴莲视频 will revisit the conversation to discuss how the landscape has changed and what clinicians need to know about these revolutionary drugs -- join us!
