Just a simple oral dose that you can take as part of your normal morning routine
Multiple factors contribute to adherence, including discontinuation due to side effects, ineffectiveness, drug shortages, employer coverage and out-of-pocket costs
Infections: vulvovaginal candidiasis, bacterial vaginosis, vulvovaginitis Comparative observational signal (protective association): In a phenome-wide association study comparing people with type 2 diabetes prescribed GLP-1 receptor agonists vs SGLT2 inhibitors and DPP4 inhibitors (NIH All of Us cohort, Jan 2018Oct 2023), semaglutide prescription was associated with reduced risk of diagnoses including candidiasis of vulva and vagina and inflammatory disease of cervix, vagina, and vulva compared with SGLT2 inhibitors
What this trial can tell us is that patients with diabetes at high risk of cardiovascular death taking oral semaglutide do not appear to be more likely to die or have cardiovascular complications than patients not taking the drug
This cardiovascular protective effect is especially important to us at Vive Ageless Weight Loss Center, where overall patient health and wellness remain our highest priority
