Event summary

Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists are medicines indicated for the treatment of diabetes and for weight management in patients living with obesity or overweight with weight-related health conditions.

Public interest around these medicines, mostly around their use for weight-loss, has grown considerably in the last years. From academic and medical discussions to social media, from gossip to celebrity endorsements, GLP-1s are everywhere.

Join our Instagram LIVE with Dr. Bart Van der Schueren, EMA expert, endocrinologist and obesity specialist.

We’ll explore GLP-1s — from what they are and how they work to how they are used in clinical practice.

Tune in on Monday, 22 July at 18:00 on the joint Health and Environment agencies’ Instagram account @one_healthenv_eu managed with our sister agencies European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), European Environment Agency (EEA), European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) and European Chemicals Agency (ECHA).
