The Era of Ozempic (and GLP-1s): Considerations and Perspective from Eating Disorder Healthcare Professionals
As the national volume of new GLP1-RA medications, such as Ozempic, continues to grow louder, so has our attention to these drugs’ potential to negatively impact eating disorder prevalence and symptomatology.
