Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1-RAs) are a novel class of medications promising for treating type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and obesity-related conditions such as cardiovascular disease (CVD) and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). This comprehensive literature review examines available research on these medications, focusing on their mechanisms of action, clinical effectiveness, safety profiles, and socioeconomic implications. A comprehensive search was performed using the PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library databases. Although initially developed for glucose management, these drugs have also demonstrated efficacy in promoting weight loss and reducing the risk of CVD. GLP-1-RAs function similarly to naturally occurring incretins. They stimulate insulin secretion in response to glucose levels, inhibit glucagon release, delay stomach emptying, and generate a sense of fullness via brain pathways. Head-to-head clinical studies have indicated that GLP-1-RAs outperform conventional antidiabetic medicines in terms of glycemic management and weight reduction. According to cardiovascular outcome studies, various drugs in this category have been found to reduce the frequency of severe adverse cardiovascular events. A common side effect is gastrointestinal toxicity, which can be mitigated by gradually increasing the dose. Personalized treatment is likely because the effectiveness, safety, and dose regimens of currently available GLP-1-RAs differ. GLP-1-RAs are a superior choice for patients with T2DM, especially those who already have CVD or require weight-control support. The high cost of these drugs creates hurdles to access and fair healthcare. Current research mainly focuses on increasing therapeutic uses and producing orally delivered medicines with greater potency and bioavailability. Integrating GLP-1-RAs into clinical practice can enhance patient outcomes and reduce the community burden of cardiometabolic disease.
