The benefit emerged early in the trial, before significant weight loss was observed
Recently, a new generation of incretin-based therapies has emerged, including dual agonists that target the GLP-1/GIP receptors (e.g., tirzepatide) or the GLP-1/glucagon receptors (e.g., cotadutide and survodutide), as well as triple agonists that act on the GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon receptors (e.g., retatrutide) (Targher et al., 2023[76], 2025[77])
Complete tablet erosion was observed regardless of water volume but occurred at a slower rate with 50 mL versus 240 mL, resulting in higher semaglutide plasma exposure with lower water volumes (Fig
While short-term side effects like nausea and gastrointestinal issues are common, long-term effects require careful monitoring and management
The Phase 3 trials extend this escalation period and allow dose flexibility based on individual tolerance
