Among the many reasons for this limited use, including the fact that GLP-1 RAs are very expensive, the route of administration is an added hindrance because most GLP-1 RAs marketed initially had to be administrated as a subcutaneous injection
This study provides insight into how differential dynamics of peptideligand engagement with the GLP-1R TMD can promote differences in G protein-mediated signalling, improving molecular understanding of mechanisms that contribute to ligand-dependent differential efficacy at the GLP-1R
The treatment itself is quick, with minimal discomfort
supervised exercise can strengthen periarticular muscles and reduce joint loading Topical NSAIDs (e.g., topical diclofenac) as a preferred first-line pharmacological option for localised joint pain, particularly in older adults where systemic NSAID use carries greater risk Paracetamol is not routinely recommended by NICE for osteoarthritis-type pain but may be considered for short-term use if other options are unsuitable or not tolerated [15] [16] Cold or warm compresses for symptomatic relief If oral NSAIDs are considered necessary, they should be used at the lowest effective dose for the shortest possible duration, on medical advice, and with gastroprotection (a proton pump inhibitor) as recommended by NICE
