Today, semaglutide is widely used as a weight-loss treatment for people without diabetes who want a safe, effective way to reach a healthier lifestyle
Results may be influenced by treatment adherence, lifestyle modifications, individual metabolism, growth and development (in adolescents), underlying health conditions, and emotional wellbeing
While semaglutide surpassed liraglutide in the average amount of weight loss, the trials showed that both GLP-1 treatments were associated with better blood sugar control, a reduction of dependence on other diabetes medications (i.e., metformin, sulfonylureas, etc.), and reduced blood pressure
Receptors in the amygdala suggest potential interactions between GLP-1 signaling and anxiety or stress processing
Usually, these are the most prominent side effects during dose escalation
