Obesity – Current Treatment – Current Treatment: Physician Insights – GLP-1 receptor agonist products (US)
Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA) products like Novo Nordisk’s semaglutide SC (Ozempic / Wegovy) and Eli Lilly’s tirzepatide (Mounjaro / Zepbound) have gained popularity in recent years. Physicians and patients are increasingly drawn to these therapies because of their established clinical efficacy, convenient dosing, and overall safety profiles. The prescription choices for GLP-1 RA products are often influenced by clinical trial outcomes, real-world evidence, and patient-specific factors, such as comorbidities.
