Studies that did not test the peptide alone3

In this study, Semaglutide was a lab tool or a carrier, part of a mix, or the subject of a lab method. These results are not evidence about taking Semaglutide.

    In adults and adolescents with overweight or obesity, semaglutide gave more QALYs and higher costs than phentermine-topiramate, phentermine and naltrexone-bupropion.

    In plain wordsIn cost studies, semaglutide gave more healthy years than some other weight-loss drugs but cost more.
