What is amylin? Not a GLP-1 — a different pancreatic hormone that's being paired with them. Here's what the trial data actually shows. #amylin #obesitymedicine #glp1community #cagrilintide #pharmaceuticalindustry

GLP-1s and birth control — two of these tell you, in the label, to change your contraception when you start. Tirzepatide's label says use may reduce the efficacy of oral hormonal contraceptives due to delayed gastric emptying, and advises switching to a non-oral method or adding a barrier method fo

Replying to @Shelbs What happens if you get pregnant on a GLP-1? Across ~50,000 exposed pregnancies there is no reproducible signal for major birth defects — and in the anchor study, malformation risk tracked the underlying diabetes far more than the drug. Separately: semaglutide's labels say disco

Replying to @Debra Stark Do GLP-1s affect milk supply? Nobody knows — and I mean that literally. Zero published studies. Hashtags: #breastfeeding #lactation #postpartum #glp1community #medicalresearch

Food noise finally has a scientific definition. You've heard the term everywhere, that constant mental chatter about food running in the background all day. Up until now clinicians and researchers didn't have a shared definition, so nobody could actually measure it or prove it changes. A new paper

Replying to @CARAH 🤎 Can you breastfeed on a GLP-1? Researchers finally measured it. In a 2024 study of eight nursing mothers, semaglutide was not detected in a single human milk sample — worst-case relative infant dose came out around 1%, against a 10% safety threshold. A manufacturer lactation st

What happens to the kids when a parent starts a GLP-1? Almost all the research looks at the person taking the medication, so this new brief report asked a different question: what changes for the family? Researchers interviewed 58 parents who had started one. 46 percent said they were offering thei

GLP-1s and pregnancy: doctors finally have a playbook. A new medical review written for OB/GYNs lays out how to counsel patients on GLP-1s before and during pregnancy. For years the advice was just stop and stay off. The new guidance goes much deeper: these lower insulin resistance, which is helpi

Why are GLP-1s so expensive? New peer-reviewed research in the journal Obesity looked at real production data from around the world and found semaglutide costs about 12 cents a dose to make, roughly $3 to $12 a month. The branded price in the US runs about $10,000 a year. That is a markup between 3

Replying to @Rising Health Report w/ Maria Lilly just answered Novo's GLP-1 false advertising lawsuit and the first sentence of the filing has zero chill. A trillion dollar company and its biggest rival are in court acting broke while they own 87 percent of the obesity drug market. Hearing is Augus

Is compounded semaglutide safe? Part 2 on the Novo Nordisk study. Nothing in it is faked. The bias lives in the judgment calls: analysts who weren't blinded, a sampling method the paper never explains, degradation blamed on pharmacies when the shipping was never controlled, and headline results rid

Is compounded semaglutide safe? A new study found problems, but look at who ran it before you panic. It was funded by Novo Nordisk and every single author works for Novo, the biggest competitor to compounded GLP-1 medication. The chemistry is real. The holes are in the methodology: 36 products with

Stroke warning signs came up on a GLP-1 podcast episode @ThePlusSideZPodcast and a listener thought it was a strange tangent. She paused the episode right after that section on her way to work. That afternoon she called her mom like she does every day. Her mom’s speech was off, tripping over wor

GLP-1s for PCOS might be the most useful tool we have, but there's a catch nobody talks about. A new review breaks down how Ozempic and Wegovy (semaglutide) can help with PCOS weight loss, insulin resistance, high testosterone, and even getting your cycle back. The problem: these drugs improve fert

Novo Nordisk is suing Eli Lilly, and it's the same type of false advertising lawsuit these companies have been using against compounded semaglutide sellers for two years. Lilly's been going after compounders and telehealth companies like Mochi, Empower, and Strive. Novo has filed over 130 of them.
