Weight Loss and Diabetes Injections#Medical_Benefits 19

March 13, 2022

From studies on the effect of these drugs in preventing heart and artery diseases in diabetic patients: https://pmj.bmj.com/content/96/1133/156 We will notice that they are inconsistent in this regard. They are also included in the medical guidelines for treating type 2 diabetes-see the diagram in this link: https://diabetologia-journal.org/2018/10/05/new-easd-ada-consensus-guidelines-on-managing-hyperglycaemia-in-type-2-diabetes-launched-at-easd-meeting-new-recommendations-include-specific-drug-classes-for-some-patients-and-enhancing-medication-a/ Saxenda is given once a day, while Ozempic and Trulicity are given once a week. These injections are stored in the refrigerator. The efficiency of Ozempic at a dose of 1 mg per week is not much less in some patients than 2.4 mg of Saxenda per day. There is a drug from the same group given orally, its scientific name is Semaglutide and its commercial name is (Rybelsus), but it is not highly efficient in reducing weight. If the goal is weight loss and the person is not diabetic, then the best option from these injections is dieting and exercising. It is not advised to start these injections just before Ramadan or during it for those who have not taken them before, for fear of dehydration. Nausea occurs at the beginning of treatment with these drugs and sometimes when increasing the dose, and it is treated with common anti-nausea medications.
