For someone with borderline-high LDL, this shift could move them from a risk category that warrants medication consideration to one that does not
Even the process of how quickly appetite suppression begins on semaglutide can help set expectations
Indeed, such very-high-risk groups should be prioritized for implementation efforts, especially in the current scenario of high drug cost, limited access, and resource constraints
However, one of the most common side effects of semaglutide is nausea, which can be uncomfortable and discouraging for those starting treatment
