Unable to Answer Question - Insufficient Patient Information

I cannot answer this question because it lacks the essential patient-specific information required to provide a meaningful response.

Missing Critical Information

The question asks "What was the GLP-1 used by [PATIENT] in [YEAR]" but does not specify:

  • Which patient - No patient identifier, name, or case details provided
  • Which year - No specific year mentioned
  • Any clinical context - No medical history, indication, or treatment details

What Would Be Needed to Answer

To provide an accurate answer about which GLP-1 receptor agonist a specific patient used, I would need:

  • Patient identification or case description
  • Specific year of treatment
  • Clinical indication (type 2 diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular disease)
  • Treatment history or medical records indicating which medication was prescribed

Available GLP-1 Receptor Agonists by Approval Timeline

If you can provide the missing patient and year information, here are the GLP-1 receptor agonists that have been available:

  • Exenatide (Byetta) - Approved 2005, twice-daily dosing 1, 2
  • Liraglutide (Victoza) - Approved 2010, once-daily dosing 1, 3
  • Exenatide extended-release (Bydureon) - Approved 2011, once-weekly dosing 1, 2
  • Lixisenatide - Once-daily dosing 1, 2
  • Albiglutide - Once-weekly dosing 1, 2
  • Dulaglutide (Trulicity) - Once-weekly dosing 1
  • Semaglutide (Ozempic/Wegovy) - Once-weekly injectable or oral daily 4, 1
  • Tirzepatide (Mounjaro/Zepbound) - Dual GIP/GLP-1 agonist, once-weekly 4

Please provide the specific patient details and year so I can give you an accurate answer about which GLP-1 receptor agonist was used.
