How Do GLP-1 Medications Work?
Medical information: This website provides general educational information, not medical advice. Prescription decisions belong to a licensed healthcare professional. Compounded drugs are not FDA-approved.
GLP-1 receptor agonists mimic activity at the GLP-1 receptor. Depending on the drug and indication, effects can include changes in glucose-dependent insulin secretion, glucagon, gastric emptying and appetite. Tirzepatide additionally acts at GIP receptors.
