Abstract
Purpose of review: Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RA) have emerged as a leading pharmacologic for managing weight gain across most populations, including peri and postmenopausal women who frequently suffer from weight gain. There is a paucity of data about this specific population and how they respond to these medications. This review aims to discuss the data available about the use and effects of GLP-1 RAs in the peri and postmenopausal populations.
Recent findings: GLP-1 RAs are consistently the most effective pharmacologic for weight loss and can be a valuable tool for use in peri and postmenopausal women.
Summary: Additional research is needed to determine the risks and benefits and ideal use of GLP-1 RAs in peri and postmenopausal women.
