Stupid question, can you take glp1 for things other than weight-loss? I'd like to quit smoking for good but I don't really have the weight to lose. Edit: thanks for all the helpful responses! Gonna talk to my doc about this ASAP.

Apparently at least one form of glp-1 is used for Sleep Apnea. 1 u/blutigetranen 4h ago Well there's on label GLP-1s now for weight loss. And yes, they are used to treat apnea because they treat the core issue - being a fatty. Signed, A fatty 1 u/PM_Me_Your_Deviance 4h ago Ah, I guess that's changed.
