Commonly prescribed medications from this drug class (GLP-1 receptor agonists) include semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy), liraglutide (Victoza, Saxenda), and tirzepatide (Mounjaro, Zepbound)
These risks have been studied extensively, monitored, and are manageable through dose escalation protocols and patient education
