Watch out for
Ro is the subject of an active mass-arbitration campaign (Labaton, via Class Action U) on behalf of Ro members who logged in and used the site to answer health questionnaires, schedule appointments, or order medication, alleging violations of federal and state health-data and medical-information privacy laws. This is private litigation — a law firm representing consumers, not a government enforcement action — and does not affect Ro's score under this site's rule for confirmed regulatory/legal actions (which applies only to FTC, state AG, or equivalent government bodies). Stated here because staying silent about it would look like we hadn't found it.

What the research says
Dr. Daniel J. Drucker (Lunenfeld-Tanenbaum Research Institute, University of Toronto — co-discoverer of GLP-1 biology) reviewed the expanding evidence base for GLP-1 medicines beyond weight loss, including cardiovascular and kidney-disease benefit, alongside open questions on long-term safety that still require more data.
