Abstract

Obesity is a chronic disease whose prevalence has been consistently rising. Farmacotherapy presents itself as an important adjuvant therapy for weight management. GLP-1 agonists are one of the drug classes studied for promoting weight loss. Development: The drugs from this class mimic the action of GLP-1, an endogenous incretine that binds to receptors located in the gastrointestinal tract and central nervous system, increasing insuline secretion and satiety. Liraglutide and semaglutide are two of the main drugs from this class, and tirzepatide is a new medication which has the additional action of being a GIP agonist. In the clinical trials that compared GLP-1 agonists to placebo, it was observed that semaglutide was associated with more weight loss than liraglutide, and this loss persisted for a longer period of time. Tirzepatide demonstrated an even more relevant result, but it's use is still not approved for obesity treatment due to the necessity of more trials testing the drug for this purpose. Final considerations: All three drugs studied were effective in promoting clinically relevant weight loss, with additional improvement in glicemic control cardiometabolic risk.
