Original: Workload Rises as More Patients Take GLP-1s

Clinicians must manage dosing adjustments, side effects, monitoring and follow-up appointments for these weight-loss and diabetes drugs, adding to already strained schedules. The surge in prescriptions is prompting debate about capacity, staffing and how primary care will cope with sustained demand.
Why now: GLP-1 prescriptions are surging, and clinicians are voicing concern about the added burden on medical practices.
