Clinical trials showed average weight loss of 5-8% of body weight with liraglutide 3.0mg daily, roughly half of what semaglutide or tirzepatide achieves
Managing treatment with Zepbound involves understanding the critical balance between its therapeutic benefits and potential side effects
GLP-1based medications, including semaglutide and tirzepatide, may be considered after an appropriate medical evaluation when clinically appropriate
I am particularly worried about the risk to patients who obtain GLPs without direct and ongoing clinical supervision. Eimers team analyzed the health records of more than 42,000 adults taking at least two classes of antihypertensive medications who initiated semaglutide, tirzepatide or liraglutide
Key findings: Prescribing trends Using a subset of real-world electronic health record (EHR) data from Truveta, Truveta Research identified people who were prescribed a GLP-1 RA between January 01, 2018 and December 31, 2024
