Mixed
GLP-1 receptor agonists (Liraglutide, Semaglutide) and other weight loss medications produce significant mean weight loss compared to placebo.
If lifestyle changes are insufficient, discuss GLP-1 agonists like Semaglutide or Liraglutide with your doctor. These medications can produce significant weight loss (up to 15% with Semaglutide) by reducing appetite and slowing digestion.
