GLP-1 is a naturally occurring hormone released from the gut in response to food intake
Therefore, despite encouraging early evidence, the role of GLP-1 RAs in slowing or preventing DPN progression remains uncertain
Research Frontier New & Potential Future Treatments The relationship between GLP-1 medications and hair is an active area of dermatologic research, and the picture is more nuanced than "GLP-1 causes hair loss." Interestingly, several case reports have also described hair regrowth or stabilization in patients on GLP-1 therapy, particularly when hair loss was originally driven by insulin resistance or metabolic dysfunction, since improved glycemic control can, in some patients, benefit certain hair loss subtypes such as central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia (CCCA) and androgenetic alopecia
Its therapeutic benefits and growing demand make it an important product in the pharmaceutical and wellness sectors
But the deal is cash only, and the medication comes in a single-dose vial, not an injector pen
