Hormonal
Semaglutide 2.4mg weekly induces significantly greater weight loss (mean 14.9%) compared to lifestyle interventions alone (mean 2.4%) in adults without diabetes.
Semaglutide 2.4mg taken once weekly, combined with a modest caloric deficit, can lead to an average 15% body weight loss in people without diabetes. This is significantly more effective than lifestyle changes alone and helps counteract the biological drive to regain weight.
