Abstract
Abstract: In the last decade, the glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist (RA) drug class has revolutionized treatment for type 2 diabetes mellitus and some of its comorbidities, including obesity and cardiovascular disease. Continued advancements in the GLP-1 RA space show clinical promise for patients, though challenges-including barriers to care such as drug expense and availability-exist. This article provides an overview of available GLP-1 RAs and their mechanisms of action, indications, adverse reactions, and risks, providing practical pearls for providers along the way.
摘要:在过去十年中,胰高血糖素样肽-1(GLP-1)受体激动剂(RA)类药物彻底改变了 2 型糖尿病及其一些合并症(包括肥胖症和心血管疾病)的治疗方法。GLP-1 RA 领域的不断进步为患者带来了临床希望,但同时也存在着挑战,包括药物费用和可用性等治疗障碍。本文概述了现有的 GLP-1 RA 及其作用机制、适应症、不良反应和风险,并为医疗服务提供者提供了实用的指南。
