What is the correlation between these new weight loss drugs and MTC? Why is it so bad to continue the drugs if you have MTC?
In: Biology
Pharmacist: it’s because during drug testing, they noted in animal studies an increased incidence of thyroid cancer. More specially it was in rats. Now last I checked, rats aren’t humans and the lines between risk and benefits become blurred. As a result prescribers aren’t likely to treat people with a GLP1s if they have a history of thyroid cancers.
