BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Little is known about glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP1RAs) use in multiple sclerosis. We described the frequency and characteristics associated with use.
METHODS: A cross-sectional survey of NARCOMS Registry participants captured use of GLP1RAs semaglutide and tirzepatide. Multivariable logistic regression explored factors associated with use.
RESULTS: Among 4181 eligible participants, 7.4% had ever and 5.5% currently used these GLP1RAs. Ever users were younger and had more cardiometabolic conditions. 37.3% of never users had an indication for GLP1RAs.
DISCUSSION: Despite 40% having an indication for taking GLP1RAs, a small percentage of surveyed persons with multiple sclerosis used them.
