The published evidence base includes STEP (semaglutide for weight management, The New England Journal of Medicine , 2021), SURMOUNT (tirzepatide for weight management, NEJM 2022), and SURMOUNT-OSA (tirzepatide for obstructive sleep apnea, NEJM 2024)

Medical supervision becomes essential to monitor electrolytes, B vitamins, and amino acid levels over time

There is also some data to suggest that GLP-1 may improve the gut microbiome to a pattern that is more favourable to weight loss
