GLP-1 medications are not general anti-inflammatory medications. Some markers of inflammation are reduced in patients taking GLP-1s, but those same markers are also reduced in overweight patients who start managing their diet and losing weight without drugs. There might be some additional reduction in the patients taking GLP-1s over diet alone, but it’s only suggested in early data. The suggestion that GLP-1 drugs are a treatment for all conditions involving inflammation is a misunderstanding from an over simplification of that early data.
