Jack of All Trades: GLP-1 medications

Posted by Staff on Thursday, January 9, 2025

By Katie (Prater) Kirby, Student Pharmacist and Karen L. Kier, Pharmacist

Jack of All Trades was released on March 6, 2012 by Bruce Springsteen. You may not be familiar with this song unless you are a true fan of “the Boss.” This song is considered in the folk-rock genre and was on his seventeenth album.

“Jack of all trades” is a saying implying someone who has skills in different areas. The newer GLP-1 medications may qualify as such.

The GLP-1s include semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy) and the combination of GLP-1/GIP drug tirzepatide (Mounjaro, Zepbound). Studies are evaluating their potential benefits beyond managing diabetes and weight loss. These areas include rheumatic disease, cancer and addiction. 

Rheumatic diseases include gout, varying types of arthritis, lupus and fibromyalgia. The impact of rheumatic diseases has led researchers to look at new treatments.

LIMA - The visiting Ada High School girls basketball team rode strong play in the middle quarters to a 40-34 win over non-conference foe Lima Central Catholic on Tuesday, January 7.

The hard-fought road victory upped the Bulldog record to 2-10. LCC fell to 2-8 after the defeat.

“It was a great win for the girls, and a great learning experience of how to win close games,” said Bulldog third-year head coach Zach Ricker. 

Ada trailed 9-5 after the first period. But a 16-7 second quarter flurry propelled the Bulldogs to a 21-16 halftime lead. 

“In the second quarter I felt like we finally settled down and we were a lot more relaxed, which led to us hitting some shots,” said Ricker.
