Among the most notable GLP-1 drugs for weight loss are liraglutide (Saxenda), semaglutide (Wegovy), and tirzepatide (Zepbound)
Caution is advised in patients with a history of pancreatitis, and these medications should be avoided during pregnancy or discontinued well before planned conception (e.g., 2 months before planned pregnancy for semaglutide based on its half-life)
These drugs are used to treat Type 2 diabetes and, more recently, obesity
