What GLP-1 agonists exist? There are numerous ones available on the market. The one that is quite common, has been around for about 2-3 years is liraglutide. This is a drug that is an injectable, taken once a day, and in various studies it led to weight loss. A newer assisted drug is now available called Semaglutide, and again this is available as an injection but also now as a tablet, but the injection seems to work better and it also only needs to be administered once a week and it is quite effective for 10% weight loss.
