FDA-approved GLP-1 receptor agonists include semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy, Rybelsus), dulaglutide (Trulicity), liraglutide (Victoza, Saxenda), lixisenatide (Adlyxin), exenatide (Bydureon BCise), and tirzepatide (Mounjaro, Zepbound)though tirzepatide is technically a dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist
Some pharma companies are setting up direct-to-consumer websites where a patient, for example, Lily has one where they can go in and get ZepBound, which is one of their GLP-1 weight loss drugs
Telehealth consultations allow for evaluation of medical history, current health conditions, and weight-related concerns before determining whether GLP-1 tirzepatide may be appropriate
