Beyond Weight Loss: GLP-1 Drugs Show Promising Health Benefits

New research explores the wide-ranging effects of GLP-1 medications, from heart health to fertility, but adherence remains a challenge.

GLP-1 drugs like Wegovy and Zepbound are being studied for heart disease, kidney disease, and more.
Many patients discontinue GLP-1 treatment early, often due to side effects or lack of immediate results.
Consistent, long-term use of GLP-1 medications shows more significant health benefits.
Support from healthcare providers can improve patient adherence to GLP-1 treatment plans.
GLP-1 drugs may offer benefits even without substantial weight loss, highlighting their broader health potential.
