Study group discussion: Cool fact about GLP 1 agonists

Antidiabetic derived from lizard?

It's exenatide! GLP-1 agonist.

From the gila monster, is it?

Exactly!

Is it not given orally?

I hope not

No.. Parenteral.. Subcutaneous!

Also there are extended release of exenatide available. Taken as weekly injections.

Bydureon! Weird but true! Thank you!
