Class

GLP-1 receptor agonists

The incretin drugs are this index's approved anchor: peptide analogues of gut hormones with trial programs in the tens of thousands of participants and weight outcomes no other class approaches. They are also where 2026's supply-side changes cut hardest, as the FDA moved to end the mass compounding that grew up during the shortages.

The class question for a reader is no longer whether these drugs work; it is which molecule, at which dose, through which lawful channel.

Molecules in this class

Semaglutide FDA-approved
Approved brand products; mass compounding ended after the shortage resolved; narrow patient-specific 503A path remains.
Tirzepatide FDA-approved
Approved brand products; shortage resolved October 2024; same narrow 503A posture as semaglutide.

The records are at semaglutide and tirzepatide; the approved page states where compounded copies now stand.
