Drug maker Novo Nordisk, external says semaglutide, the active ingredient for the weight loss jab Wegovy, does not slow Alzheimer’s – despite initial hopes that it might help against dementia.
Researchers began two large trials involving more than 3,800 people after reports the medicine was having an impact in the real world.
But the studies showed the GLP-1 drug, which is already used to manage type 2 diabetes and obesity, made no difference compared to a dummy drug.
Disappointing, but I’m glad to see this kind of followup. It can’t be a true panacea.
On the plus side at least a lot of us chunkier folks will live to be old enough to lose our marbles now. Maybe we’ll be around long enough for them to figure out the brain thing.
It might not slow Alzheimers, but given the risk factors for dementia (obesity, cardiovascular, smoking, diabetes etc) I’d be very surprised if it didn’t help prevent it.
I opened this post with interest, as someone who is on semaglutide. I then saw every single comment had already been upvoted by me, so I assumed this was an old post. I then saw it was posted 23 minutes ago.
Suffice to say, I am concerned 👀
