Prescription is based on clinical evaluation to ensure safety and effectiveness
In research it is best known for the way it works with amylin-family receptors, which sets it apart from the more common GLP-1 style peptides
These observations are consistent with a peripheral mechanism, possibly involving delayed gastric emptying, that may blunt alcohols immediate effects
However, recent reports suggest that GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro may exacerbate or accelerate the progression of DR, particularly in patients who experience a rapid improvement in blood glucose control after starting these medications
