      **From the article:**

      The popularity of GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro hit an all-time high in 2024. As of September, one of every 20 prescriptions written for adults was for one of these drugs, which are commonly used for weight loss.

      Yet not everyone who’s prescribed the drugs ends up taking them. In fact, half the new prescriptions for these wonder drugs go unfilled. 

      Still, the ever-increasing use of GLP-1 agonists is uncovering clues about what else they can do. Companies are already exploring whether they can treat addiction, or even Alzheimer’s.
