The Short-Lived Promise of Weight Loss Injectables

Injectable weight loss medications like Ozempic, Mounjaro, and Wegovy are gaining popularity among patients struggling to lose weight. These medications, which mimic natural hormones in the body to suppress appetite, have shown promising results for some individuals. However, they should be used under the supervision of a doctor due to potential side effects such as nausea and muscle loss. Buying these drugs online or from unverified sources can be risky. While the injections can kickstart weight loss, they are not a long-term solution, and most patients tend to regain weight after discontinuing the medication. Regular follow-ups with a healthcare professional are recommended, and costs can be high, with some medications exceeding $1,000 per month.

Oral weight-loss drugs show promising results in trials by Novo Nordisk and Pfizer.

Novo Nordisk and Pfizer have released data showing that pills from the same class as Novo's weight loss drugs are as effective as injected medicines. Novo Nordisk's semaglutide pill helped overweight or obese adults lose weight comparable to what is seen with injected Wegovy, while Pfizer's oral compound resulted in weight loss similar to that of Novo's injected Ozempic. The enormous demand for weight-loss treatments could support up to 10 competing products with annual sales reaching up to $100 billion within a decade. Novo Nordisk expects to file for U.S. and European approval of the daily tablet this year, contingent on portfolio prioritizations and manufacturing capacity.

Revolutionary Cholesterol Medications for Heart Health

Cardiologists have identified three new cholesterol-lowering medications that could prevent the need for stents in the future. Statins, which have been around for 40 years, are a common medication for lowering cholesterol, but around 10% of people on statins get side effects. The new medications include oral medications like Nexletol and simple at-home injections like Repatha, Praluent, and Leqvio, which are dramatically lowering bad cholesterol, even into the single digits. These medications are expected to reduce the need for coronary disease interventions like stents and bypass surgeries.
