Mumbai: Diagnostics company Thyrocare Technologies Ltd. announced a new
GLP-1 Health Check on Thursday. These are complete testing packages to
help people who use GLP-1 medicines for weight loss or type 2 diabetes.
The packages include up to 81 tests, start at ₹2,799, and are available
across India. Thyrocare said the tests help patients and doctors monitor
metabolic, nutritional, liver, kidney, and thyroid health before starting
GLP-1 therapy and during treatment.
GLP-1 agonists are drugs that mimic the natural hormone glucagon-like peptide-1.
They are becoming popular for obesity and diabetes management, but doctors
recommend regular monitoring to check effectiveness and detect side effects.
