Who is a good candidate for the drugs

I take a little comfort that GLP-1 is a naturally occurring hormone, although we are giving it as a peptide and now as a small molecule orally, so it's not a compound that's foreign to the body, although at higher doses in individuals

Examples of GLP-1 drugs include semaglutide (found in Ozempic and Wegovy), tirzepatide (found in Mounjaro and Zepbound) or liraglutide (Saxenda and Victoza)
