About The Study: Between 2020 and 2023, the number of adolescents and young adults with glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA) dispensing increased substantially. In contrast, the number with dispensing of other drugs decreased. Increases in GLP-1RA dispensing were greatest for females, highlighting the importance of educating patients and prescribers on sex-specific safety risks (e.g., concerns during pregnancy).
