But are Wegovy and Ozempic safe to use in psychiatry? University of Toronto psychiatrist and researcher Dr. Rodrigo Mansur discusses the research supporting the use of GLP1 agonist weight loss drugs and explores his clinical considerations when discussing these medications with patients. Could they be a new treatment for psychiatric disorders? That remains to be seen as we consider the potential adverse effects. But it seems clear these drugs are becoming more popular, so the more we know about them, the better!
