GLP-1 Microdosing refers to the use of lower-than-standard doses of GLP-1 receptor agonists, such as semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy) or liraglutide (Victoza, Saxenda)
The best injection sites, how to rotate them, and the techniques that make injections more comfortable are consistent across versions
In head-to-head comparisons with semaglutide, tirzepatide has shown comparable or even superior weight loss outcomes, suggesting that it may work as quickly as semaglutide, if not faster, in some individuals
In 2019, it approved a different formulation of semaglutide, Rybelsus, for reducing blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes
The study, which is yet to be published but has been presented at a conference, looked at more than 17,000 overweight or obese adults aged over 45 who had previously experienced a cardiovascular event such as a heart attack, and divided them into two groups one receiving semaglutide, the other getting a placebo
Collectively, these results provide a novel foundation for future investigations
