The global GLP-1 receptor agonist market size was valued at USD 11.3 billion in 2019 and is expected expand during the forecast period, 2021–2028. The growth of the market is attributed to the advanced development of GLP-1 receptor agonist and upcoming products for launches.
Incretin mimetics, commonly known as GLP-1 receptor agonist medicines, are a kind of incretin-based drug used to treat type 2 diabetes. The type of medicine is based on function of hormones called incretins, which helps regulate how the pancreas function.
Incretin mimetics, commonly known as GLP-1 receptor agonist medicines, are a kind of incretin-based drug used to treat type 2 diabetes. The type of medicine is based on function of hormones called incretins, which helps regulate how the pancreas function. GLP-1, a form of incretin, encourages your pancreas to create more insulin after you eat, which helps keep blood glucose levels within acceptable limits.
Exanatide, dulaglutide, lixisenatide, and liraglutide are drugs that mimic or replicate the effects of GLP-1 produced by your body. GLP-1's effects last just a few minutes, however GLP-1 receptor agonists can endure for hours or even days. GLP-1 receptor agonists are liquids that are injected under the skin of the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm. You can inject it once or twice daily, or once a week, depending on the drug you are using. GLP-1 receptor agonists can be used on their own or in combination with other diabetic medications.
GLP-1 receptor agonists are particularly efficient at decreasing blood sugar levels after meals and throughout fasting periods. They are unlikely to produce low blood sugar, unlike several type 2 diabetes drugs (hypoglycemia). Some GLP-1 RAs have also been proven to help heart health and kidney function in persons with diabetes, while further study is needed.
Treatment with Ozempic, Trulicity, Rybelsus, or Victoza, for example, has been related to a considerable reduction in serious cardiac issues, such as heart attacks, among persons with diabetes and existing heart disease, according to study. Persons who took particular GLP-1 RAs had better renal outcomes than people who took a placebo, according to studies.
