Prescription GLP-1 medications require medical evaluation, but they're the only products with clinical evidence for those specific effects
Ozempic costs around $997.58 for a 28-day supply without insurance
But doctors may need to consider recommending exercise programs or develop other approaches, such as nutrition supplements or complementary medications, to help GLP-1 patients get the full cardiorespiratory benefits of substantial weight loss over the long-run, the researchers say
In this promising context, the likely availability in the near future of drugs for T2D at dosages equal to those used in obesity and with average weight reduction of 20% compared to baseline, such as tirzepatide 15 mg [77], oral semaglutide 50 mg [54], CagriSema 2.4/2.4 mg [82], will compellingly raise the issue of first-line treatment of patients with T2D, which should clearly be addressed to the fundamental pathogenetic moment of T2D, namely the increase in adiposity
