GLP-1 Agonists: What They Are, How They Work & Side Effects
WEBGLP-1 agonists are a class of medications that mainly help manage blood sugar (glucose) levels in people with Type 2 diabetes. Some GLP-1 agonists can also help treat obesity. GLP-1 agonists are most often injectable medications, meaning you inject a liquid medication with a needle and syringe.
GLP-1 receptor agonist - Wikipedia
WEBGLP-1 agonists work by activating the GLP-1 receptor. They slow gastric emptying, inhibit the release of glucagon, and stimulate insulin production, therefore reducing hyperglycemia in people with type 2 diabetes. They also reduce food intake and therefore body weight, making them an effective treatment for obesity. [2]
