💨 Abstract

The article "What to Ask About Weight Loss Drugs" discusses GLP-1 medications, which are gaining attention for significant weight loss. GLP-1 receptor agonists mimic the GLP-1 hormone to stimulate insulin secretion, lower blood sugar, and promote weight loss by reducing hunger and slowing digestion. Examples include semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy) and tirzepatide (Mounjaro, Zepbound).
