Study: Weight Loss Pill More Effective Than Jabs

A trial of weight loss medication amycretin found that the drug resulted in faster weight loss in three months than Wegovy. Participants lost about 13% of their body weight in 12 weeks. The pill, developed by Novo Nordisk, could be a convenient alternative to receiving shots. “This early phase research on a new oral combination is exciting given the speed of weight loss seen,” Naveed Sattar of the University of Glasgow said. “However, far larger scale trials will be needed to test such medicines in due course, including its effect on disease outcomes.” (dailymail.co.uk)
