Did you know GLP-1 medications may help more than just blood sugar and weight? Recent studies suggest that GLP-1 receptor agonists (like semaglutide and tirzepatide) can reduce intracranial pressure, offering a potential treatment for idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) - a condition where pressure builds up around the brain without an obvious cause. Here’s how it works: GLP-1s can decrease cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) production, improve vascular tone, and aid in weight reduction, all of wh
