These medications include semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy), dulaglutide (Trulicity), liraglutide (Victoza, Saxenda), and tirzepatide (Mounjaro, Zepbound)though tirzepatide is technically a dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist with a slightly different mechanism
A meta-analysis of 25 studies of GLP-1 receptor agonists showed no increase in major adverse cardiovascular events (including cardiovascular death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, stroke, and acute coronary syndromes and/or heart failure reported as serious adverse events) versus all comparators, with a significant reduction versus placebo (odds ratio 0.506, P = 0.029) (29)
