New daily weight loss pill looks promising

Working in a similar way to semaglutide, orforglipron helps to achieve greater weight loss results, according to a new study. Good to see that ever better versions of these genuine weight loss drugs are being developed.

Note how the article makes a big deal about being able to take it in pill form instead of an injection as if it's some new breakthrough. However, it isn't, because it's been possible to take semaglutide in pill form for years, it's called Rybelsus.

A significant trial of a daily weight-loss pill has found that it helped people to shed the pounds and reduce their blood sugar levels, making it a contender to join the new wave of drugs that combat obesity and diabetes.

People who took a 36mg pill of orforglipron lost an average of 7.3kg (16lbs) over nine months, according to results from a phase 3 clinical trial reported by the drug’s manufacturer, Eli Lilly, on Thursday.

The trial, which enrolled 559 obese people with type 2 diabetes from the US, China, India, Japan and Mexico, also found that the daily pill reduced blood sugar levels, in some cases bringing them below the formal threshold for diabetes.
