Sleep Unplugged with Dr. Chris Winter

#157 - Weight Loss Drugs and Sleep Apnea: One Pill Makes You Small


Listen Later

Weight loss drugs are everywhere and recently Zepbound (tirzepitide) made big news when it became the first FDA-approved sleep apnea therapy for mild to moderate sleep apnea. In this episode, we will:

  • Introduce and explain weight loss medications
  • Review the studies that convinced the FDA to approve Zepbound for sleep apnea
  • Provide an overview on this class of weight loss medications
  • Evaluate the risks and determine who is a best match for this therapy
  • Touch on the cost and difficulty in getting these drugs approved
  • Revisit Apnimed's SynAIRgy press release and how it relates to our discussion in episode 110 of the podcast

Produced by: Maeve Winter
