Wegovy is the only brand name that is coming to mind for me right now. GLP – one is the class of drugs, they are usually injectables and pricey. What I was told by chemotherapy doctor was that they are almost all hormone based and for me, a breast cancer patient with ER positive PR positive breast cancer prior to the mastectomy, I’m not to take any hormone based meds like that. I talked to my primary care doctor, who used to work in a cancer center, and he said there few weight loss medication’s that are not hormone based. Phentermine was one of the older medication‘s. That is not hormone based. He said the problem is it doesn’t work well for everyone, but fortunately it worked for me. It was part of the old Fen/Phen medication that was taken off the market many years ago. It was the part of that blend that was OK, but not as effective by itself as it was when added into that older cocktail.
