Clinical trial results discussed in this article - STEP 1 (14.9% average body weight loss with semaglutide), SURMOUNT-1 (20.9% average body weight loss with tirzepatide), and SELECT (20% reduced risk of major cardiovascular events with FDA-approved Wegovy in a specific patient population) - relate to studied active ingredients and specific FDA-approved formulations in controlled trial populations and should not be interpreted as guaranteed outcomes for any individual patient or compounded formulation
Patients begin with a comprehensive medical assessment, lab work, and lifestyle evaluation
The patient gets better pain control than a higher dose of either drug alone, and within a dose range that keeps side effects manageable

Using elegant genetic models, the authors demonstrate that semaglutide improves steatosis, fibrosis, and immune remodeling even in the complete absence of weight reduction
