Overview
This medication mimics the hormone the body releases to signal fullness after eating. Given once a week, it reduces appetite and slows how quickly the stomach empties, so less is eaten, and it also helps blood sugar control. Trials showed substantial weight loss, and it is approved for obesity treatment; diet and exercise are still required.
