More research is needed to understand the mechanisms through which semaglutide produces these early clinical benefits, but they may include the drugs positive effects on reducing inflammation, blood sugar, blood pressure, direct effects on the heart and blood vessels, early dietary changes or an interaction among these or other responses, he said
HOW DOES IT WORK
Tirzepatide versus semaglutide In the direct head-to-head comparison, the 1-year risk of the primary endpoint including all-cause mortality was 1.3% (95% CI 1.2% to 1.5%) for tirzepatide and 1.3% (95% CI 1.2% to 1.5%) for semaglutide, resulting in a risk difference of 0.0% (95% CI 0.2% to 0.2%) and an HR of 1.06 (95% CI 0.95 to 1.18) (Fig
