GLP-1 weight loss drugs reduce the risk of kidney disease and death

2025-02-15


Semaglutide is a hypoglycemic drug developed by Novo Nordisk. The drug is a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor 

agonist (GLP-1RA) that is effective in weight loss because it reduces hunger, which leads to a lower diet and reduced 

caloric intake.

In addition to being used to treat type 2 diabetes and obesity, semaglutide has also been found to protect 

cardiovascular health, reduce cancer risk, reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease, help with alcohol abstinence, and 

much more.
