This week we look backwards in time in order to move forwards. We check out the first GLP1 drugs and take a longer look at Liraglutide which is a GLP1 found in Victoza (diabetes) and Saxenda (weightloss). We also chat to Lorrie and talk in depth about her journey on Saxenda and why she ended up choosing it over Ozempic.

Lorrie faced many challenges on her journey and I highlight three of the main ones that usually anyone faces when first going on a GLP1 medicine for weight loss. We also take a look at the lawsuits currently underway in the USA over Saxenda and how Novo Nordisk has had to pay out millions of dollars to settle, plus we take a look at the numerous lawsuits claiming gastrointestinal issues and is there any link between them and the clinical trials?
