FDA approval of Wegovy to lower stroke, heart attack risk makes around 3.6M Medicare patients with overweight, obesity eligible for coverage, study finds
The novel anti-obesity medication semaglutide 2.4 mg injected subcutaneously once weekly as an adjunct to a reduced-calorie diet and physical activity helps patients achieve average losses of 9.6–17.4% of initial body weight at week 68, as well as improvements in cardiometabolic and psychosocial indices.
Several types of anti-obesity medications (AOMs), including glucagon-like peptide 1s (GLP-1s), are associated with decreased alcohol use, new research suggests.
In this review, we emphasize that glycine exerts its anti-inflammatory effects throughout the modulation of the expression of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) in many cells. Although glycine is a non-essential amino acid, we highlight how dietary glycine supplementation is important in avoiding the development of chronic inflammation.
Evidence that GLP-1 treatments like Ozempic and Mounjaro have strong anti-addictive effects across substances and behaviors has been mounting every month.
Rapidly increasing uptake of semaglutide made it the top-selling drug in the US in 2023, with net sales of $13.8 billion.1,2 Quantifying the number of US adults eligible for semaglutide may guide future policies for this high-cost therapy and clarify potential implications for pharmaceutical spending.
Recent randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have investigated glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) and dual or triple co-agonists for weight loss among adults with overweight or obesity and without diabetes.
Concerns have been raised that glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP1-RAs) may increase the risk of thyroid cancer, but evidence remains conflicting. We therefore investigated if GLP1-RA use, compared with use of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP-4is), was associated with thyroid cancer risk in patients with type 2 diabetes.
With glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) agonists now close to inducing weight loss at levels only seen before through surgical intervention, obesity specialists say patients on these drugs are experiencing complications similar to those seen after weight loss surgery.
“While we cannot rule out [developments] 20 years from now, we can say that we do not see the same short-term association that others have reported,” senior author Anton Pottegard, PhD, of Clinical Pharmacology, Pharmacy and Environmental Medicine, Department of Public Health, University of Southern Denmark, Odense, told Medscape Medical News.
In this randomized clinical trial, relative to placebo, low-dose semaglutide reduced the amount of alcohol consumed during a posttreatment laboratory self-administration procedure. Over 9 weeks of treatment, semaglutide led to reductions in some but not all measures of weekly consumption, significantly reduced weekly alcohol craving relative to placebo, and led to greater relative reductions in cigarettes per day in a subgroup of participants with current cigarette use.
