Price cuts for this class of drugs would generally be welcome news, as GLP-1 medications are highly effective at promoting weight loss and improving cardiometabolic health, as well as preventing diabetes and heart, kidney disease and liver disease
In doing so, we advocate for a paradigm that moves beyond traditional indications, embracing the full spectrum of GLP-1R agonists in areas such as primary prevention, microvascular protection, and metabolic liver disease, and metabolic disorders that include cardio-kidney-metabolic (CKM) syndromea systemic disorder characterized by interrelated metabolic, renal, and cardiovascular dysfunction and a broader cardio-renal-metabolic axis that includes central obesity, insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, hypertension, and pre-diabetic states
