This report explores the potential role of glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists in minimizing the metabolic side effects of psychotropic medications in patients with underlying type 2 diabetes (T2D) in inpatient psychiatric settings. The introduction of novel antidiabetic medications such as GLP-1 receptor agonists has broadened the options for managing metabolic disorders, particularly T2D. These medications not only offer effective glycemic control but also provide cardiovascular and renal benefits and help with weight management. Given the tendency of psychotropic medications to cause weight gain and metabolic complications, this report presents 2 cases where weekly doses of semaglutide improved blood glucose levels and prevented weight gain in patients receiving chronic psychotropic medications. Integrating GLP-1 receptor agonists into inpatient psychiatric care can help mitigate the metabolic adverse effects of psychotropic medications. However, considerations such as cost, accessibility, and institutional formulary restrictions are essential to ensure comprehensive patient care.
