Long-Term Efficacy and Safety of Once-Weekly Semaglutide for Weight Loss in Patients Without Diabetes: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38679221/
Semaglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist, has demonstrated clinically important weight loss effects in patients with type 2 diabetes. However, its effects on sustained weight loss in patients without diabetes...
Semaglutide (2.4 mg) significantly reduces body weight in overweight/obese individuals without diabetes, with a 12.1% relative weight loss. Gastrointestinal adverse events are common but mostly mild. Long-term efficacy and safety are confirmed.
