Molecule of the Month: GLP-1 Receptor Agonists Popular and effective drugs for the treatment of obesity and diabetes Improving on a lizard toxin Small molecule mimics Exploring the Structure Compare how peptide-based and small molecule drugs bind to the GLP-1 receptor While peptide-based GLP-1 receptor agonists all bind to the GLP-1 receptor in similar ways, the small molecule orforglipron is much smaller with far fewer interactions

I don't know if the average patient needs to know the mechanism of action and where these things work in the body, but I also think they're often prescribed in a vacuum without other considerations.
