Weight Loss

FDA

A GLP-1 receptor agonist FDA-approved for type 2 diabetes and chronic weight management. One of the most effective pharmaceutical weight loss interventions available.

Cagrilintide

Weight Loss

A long-acting amylin analog developed by Novo Nordisk for obesity treatment. Works through a different mechanism than GLP-1 agonists, targeting amylin receptors in the brain to reduce appetite and slow gastric emptying. Shows enhanced weight loss when combined with semaglutide (CagriSema).

Tirzepatide

Weight Loss

A dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist representing the next generation of incretin-based therapies. Shows superior weight loss compared to semaglutide in head-to-head trials.

Dulaglutide

Weight Loss

FDA

An FDA-approved weekly GLP-1 receptor agonist for type 2 diabetes. Fused to an Fc antibody fragment for extended duration of action.

Exenatide

Weight Loss

FDA

The first GLP-1 receptor agonist approved for diabetes. Derived from Gila monster saliva. Available in twice-daily and weekly formulations.

Retatrutide

Weight Loss

A triple agonist targeting GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon receptors. Represents the next evolution beyond dual agonists like tirzepatide, showing unprecedented weight loss in trials.
