Further, data show that when disregarding treatment adherence, the semaglutide 7.2 mg cohort achieved weight loss of 18.7% compared to 3.9% in the placebo cohort, with 90.7% of patients in the semaglutide 7.2 mg cohort achieving 5% or more weight loss compared to 36.8% in the placebo cohort
Semaglutide the active ingredient in both Ozempic and Wegovy is currently one of the most clinically studied GLP-1 medications for weight loss
Semaglutide may reduce appetite and calorie intake, so patients may unintentionally eat too little protein during treatment

PlexusDx Precision Peptide Genetic Test ($298) sequences these pathways across 14 metabolic domains and 49 peptides, helping clinicians fine-tune whether semaglutide alone or a dual-compound therapy like GLP-Squared offers better outcomes for your genetic profile
Increased Side Effects : Alcohol can worsen certain side effects of semaglutide, especially nausea and vomiting
