A GLP-1 receptor agonist approved for type 2 diabetes and chronic weight management.
OBJECTIVE: Our objective was to quantify the efficacy of subcutaneous once-weekly semaglutide in treating type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) over time. METHODS: Based on a literature search of the PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, and Web of Science databases,…
INTRODUCTION: Semaglutide is increasingly used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus, overweight and other conditions. It is well known that semaglutide lowers blood glucose levels and leads to significant weight loss. Still, a systematic rev…
BACKGROUND: Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor-agonists (GLP-1ra), such as semaglutide, have emerged as promising treatments, demonstrating sustained weight reduction and metabolic benefits. This study aims to assess the impact of oral and subcutaneous…
AIM: To investigate the most matchable price of tirzepatide (TIRZ) compared with semaglutide (SEMA) in the treatment of type 2 diabetes in China. METHODS: The patient cohort and clinical efficacy data were derived from the SURPASS-2 trial. Cost-utili…
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy and safety of oral semaglutide vs sitagliptin in a predominantly Chinese population with type 2 diabetes inadequately controlled with metformin treatment. METHODS: The Peptide Innovati…
AIMS: To describe trends in the use of anti-obesity drugs in Norway during the period 2004-2022. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We assessed the annual utilization of any available drug indicated for obesity recorded in the nationwide Norwegian Prescribed Dru…
Currently, metabolic surgery (MS) constitutes the most effective means for durable weight loss of clinically meaningful magnitude, type 2 diabetes remission and resolution of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, as well as other obesity-related comorbiditi…
BACKGROUND: Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) for weight management require frequent dose titration, patient education, and insurance coverage navigation, which pharmacists are well equipped to manage. Data are lacking regarding t…
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists, including tirzepatide (Mounjaro), are widely used to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and obesity. While gastrointestinal side effects are common, acute pancreatitis remains a rare but signific…
AIM: Data on the efficacy of oral semaglutide (OS) in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes are still lacking. This study evaluates the effectiveness of OS in a real world setting with a large ≥75 year old population. METHODS: This study includes all…
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: This study presents a budget impact analysis (BIA) conducted in Saudi Arabia, evaluating the cost implications of adopting semaglutide, tirzepatide, or dulaglutide in the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patien…
The use of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA) has experienced rapid growth amidst the obesity epidemic in the United States. While originally developed for glucose control in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, the scope of these agents now ex…
The purpose of this study was to explore the effect of Semaglutide on intrauterine adhesions and discover new drugs for such adhesions. In this study, the cell model was simulated by TGF-β1-induced human endometrial epithelial cells, and the animal m…
