Weight Loss Drugs| Episode 48 | With Dr. Shashank Joshi, Dr. Anil Bhoraskar & Dr Rahul Borude

Описание: GLP-1 (Glucagon-like Peptide-1) injections are a breakthrough in managing type 2 diabetes and obesity by mimicking a natural hormone that regulates blood sugar and appetite. While they offer significant benefits such as improved blood glucose control and weight loss, they are not suitable for everyone and require careful medical supervision.

Before starting GLP-1 injections, it’s essential to undergo screening for:
1. Bone Health: Since these medications can impact calcium levels and bone metabolism, assessing bone health is crucial.
2. Liver Fat: Patients with existing liver conditions should be evaluated, as the medication can have varying effects on liver fat.
3. History of Cancer, Especially Thyroid: GLP-1 agonists have been linked to an increased risk of thyroid tumors in animal studies, so they are generally avoided in individuals with a personal or family history of thyroid cancer.
4. Age Considerations: For those over 65, the risks may outweigh the benefits, making this medication less advisable.

This information highlights the importance of personalized medical guidance when considering GLP-1 injections. They should be part of a comprehensive approach to weight management, combining lifestyle changes with medical intervention.
