Semaglutide or Liraglutide for Weight Loss?

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
