Why GLP 1??

Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) have a number of benefits, including: 

• Kidney disease: GLP-1RAs can reduce the risk of kidney disease and delay the progression of diabetes-related nephropathy. 

• Stroke: GLP-1RAs can reduce the risk of fatal and nonfatal strokes. 

• Cardiovascular health: GLP-1RAs can improve cardiac output, coronary blood flow, and myocardial contractility. They can also reduce the risk of cardiovascular events and the size of infarctions. 

• Weight loss: GLP-1RAs can help with weight loss. 

• Blood pressure: GLP-1RAs can lower blood pressure. 

• Blood sugar: GLP-1RAs can improve glycemic efficacy. 

• Lipid disorders: GLP-1RAs can improve lipid disorders. 

• Fatty liver disease: GLP-1RAs can improve fatty liver disease. 

GLP-1RAs work by slowing down gastric emptying, which helps reduce blood sugar spikes. They also help the brain signal fullness to the body. GLP-1RAs are available as pills or injectable devices that can be taken once a week or daily. 

Common side effects of GLP-1RAs include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation. These side effects usually subside after a few weeks.
