In the UK this week, #semaglutide finally launched for #obesity. Zoe Williams wonders in the Guardian if this will put an end to ignorant #blathering about people with obesity. Bitter experience tells us there’s little chance of that.

Friday, we learned from Mikhail Kosiborod et al that #semaglutide helps patients with #HFpEF and #obesity. Today in Nature Medicine we learn why. It's all about providing real, effective obesity treatment.

“In patients with #HeartFailure with preserved ejection fraction #HFpEF and #obesity, treatment with #semaglutide (2.4 mg) led to larger reductions in symptoms and physical limitations, greater improvements in exercise function, and greater weight loss than placebo.”

The just-released study—a double-blinded placebo-controlled randomized clinical trial of obese adults—appears in the New England Journal of Medicine.”

Whilst I sincerely hope #semaglutide can work for this kind of treatment; the history of the pharmaceutical industry trying to push a #wonderdrug is littered with the bodies of their victims.
The #OpioidCrisis is just one outcome of their exxessivr marketing of drugs for multiple treatments.
I’m hoping this is not another example of that.

When headlines saying #semaglutide #SavesLives collide with employees hearing their #HealthInsurance is cutting them off from it and Novo Nordisk saying it will be next year before they make enough, there's definitely bedlam in #ObesityCare.

The news that #HighPriced #semaglutide prevents heart attacks, strokes, and deaths puts a question to us all. What comes first in healthcare? #SavingLives or making money?

Topline results of the #SELECT study from Novo Nordisk today show #semaglutide that treating #obesity with this drug prevents cardiovascular deaths, heart attacks, and strokes. This news marks the start of a sea change in #ObesityCare.

One of the biggest landmark studies ever in #ObesityCare has come to an end and soon we will get the results. Will it be important? Yes. Will people fuss about the implications? We are certain of it.

“It’s one thing to reach out to physicians and say ‘We’ve got these treatments and they’re so effective and we want you to know about them,’ I don’t think that’s ever going to explain over 100 meals. You just have to laugh, it’s so crazy.”
