Recent Developments in Obesity Medications
Novo Nordisk faced a significant drop in stock prices due to unmet expectations regarding its weight loss medication, which fell short of a 25% total body weight loss target in trials. Semaglutide and terzepatide are currently seeing weight loss results around 15% and 21%, respectively, which are still considerable compared to earlier obesity medications. The podcast discusses how past generations of obesity treatments, like loraglutide, would have been celebrated for achieving similar results.
