What This Means Practically If cardiovascular risk reduction is a priority (especially for someone with existing heart disease), semaglutide has the stronger evidence base right now
the risks are often ignored and downplayed, but can be quite serious such as stomach paralysis and other organ damage plus a lifelong reliance on these medicines to keep weight loss maintained
Why Might You Stop Taking Semaglutide
You should notice reduced appetite, some decrease in food noise (the constant background thinking about food), and potentially mild gastrointestinal adjustment
Hypoglycemia Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) can occur with retatrutide, especially when you use the medication with other diabetes medications like insulin, sulfonylureas, or metformin
