Weight gain can impact patient’s quality of life and put them at risk for health complications. While weight loss can be an important factor in a patient’s health, it is equally important that it is done safely and effectively. Listen in as host, Geoff Wall compares the safety and efficacy of semaglutide and liraglutide in weight loss. 

The GameChanger:

• Based on a recent Phase-3 study, semaglutide appears to be more effective in weight loss than liraglutide 
• Semaglutide also appeared to have modest effects on decreasing systolic blood pressure, blood sugar, lipid concentrations, and serum insulin levels
• GLP-1 agonists are expensive medications – patients should be made aware of the of the associated cost as a part of patient centered care
