Increasing postpartum use of GLP-1 receptor agonists
JAMA
About The Study: Glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) are increasingly used for postpartum weight loss since the introduction of semaglutide for weight loss in late 2022. Most users were overweight prior to pregnancy and only 23% had a documented diabetes diagnosis, suggesting that the primary indication for use was weight reduction.
