A 218,043-person retrospective cohort linked GLP-1 use with lower cardiovascular event and death risks in serious mental illness.
GLP-1 Safety Knowledge: Student Survey
A Saudi pharmacy-student survey found a mean GLP-1 safety knowledge score of 7.6 out of 17, with a 26.5% response rate.
GLP-1 Use Before Bariatric Surgery
An editorial highlights a matched cohort linking prior GLP-1 or tirzepatide use with fewer early cardiorenal events after surgery.
SLIM LIVER: Semaglutide and HIV
SLIM LIVER found improved liver-fat and blood-marker results with semaglutide in people with HIV, but the trial had no control group.
GLP-1 drugs in schizophrenia: 7 trials
Seven randomized trials suggest GLP-1 drugs, including semaglutide, can reduce antipsychotic-associated metabolic harm.
Oral semaglutide and arterial stiffness
A retrospective cohort linked higher-dose oral semaglutide and SGLT-2 inhibitor use with improved arterial stiffness, without proving causation.
FLOW and SGLT2 inhibitors in CKD
FLOW established kidney-outcome evidence for semaglutide in diabetic CKD. A translational review explains why SGLT2 combination trials are next.
Generic semaglutide and diabetes value
A Canadian analysis estimated how far GLP-1 receptor agonist prices would need to fall to become cost-effective.
Personalising Tirzepatide Maintenance
A Lancet letter raises the maintenance question. SURMOUNT-MAINTAIN supports continued tirzepatide but does not supply an individual dosing formula.

One patient taking tirzepatide completed 17 ECT sessions without complications, but the case report cannot establish a safe protocol.
Tirzepatide Ocular Study: What We Know
A letter on tirzepatide ocular outcomes has no public abstract. The underlying cohort found associations, not proof of eye protection.
Tirzepatide vs SGLT2 Drugs in MASLD
A matched MASLD cohort linked tirzepatide to fewer deaths and liver events than SGLT2 inhibitors, but it cannot prove superiority.
