Approximately 12% of the U.S. adult population is currently taking a GLP-1 drug for weight loss, according to two different surveys.

To date, seven different GLP-1 medications have been approved and marketed in the U.S. for diabetes, while only three GLP-1 drugs have been approved specifically for weight loss.
