This finding could have significant implications because it suggests a higher risk of aspiration of 3.5 (95% CI 1.26 to 9.65) during anesthesia in patients taking Semaglutide compared to the control group
Its worth noting that semaglutide is still a relatively new drug
The FDA-mandated Boxed Warning for Zepbound states that tirzepatide causes thyroid C-cell tumors in rodents and that it is unknown whether Zepbound causes thyroid C-cell tumors, including MTC, in humans
Semaglutide and tirzepatide are both powerful tools for supporting weight management, but they work in different ways and may suit different needs
