What Do GLP-1 Drugs Do?

GLP-1 agonists are medications that imitate the effects of the body’s natural glucagon-like peptide-1 hormone. Your small intestine makes this hormone when you eat to accomplish several goals, including:

 

  • Encouraging the pancreas to make insulin

  • Breaking down food into energy

  • Slowing digestion

  • Lowering blood sugar

  • Allowing you to feel full

 

Healthcare providers currently prescribe GLP-1 medications to help patients manage type 2 diabetes and obesity because these drugs have proven weight-loss and sugar-lowering effects.

Examples of GLP-1 Weight-Loss Drugs

Some common examples of GLP-1 drugs that have shown promise for people include:

 

  • Ozempic®: Once-weekly injection for adults with type 2 diabetes 

  • Wegovy®: Once-weekly injection for weight loss in certain adults and adolescents 

  • Trulicity: Once-weekly injection for type 2 diabetes in adults and children 

  • Victoza®: Once-daily injection for type 2 diabetes 

  • Saxenda®: The version of liraglutide approved for weight loss 

  • Byetta: First FDA-approved GLP-1 agonist used to treat type 2 diabetes in adults 

  • Mounjaro®: Drug closely related to GLP-1 agonists 

  • Zepbound®: FDA-approved version of tirzepatide for chronic weight management

 

Despite the success that many patients have had on these drugs, medications aren’t meant to do the job alone. Your doctor will usually recommend that you make lifestyle changes, as well, including by eating a healthy diet and becoming more physically active.

 

A registered dietitian from Catalyst Nutrition and Training can help you with that!
