Subcutaneous semaglutide 1.0 mg and oral semaglutide 14 mg resulted in weight reductions of 4.5 kg and 3.7 kg, respectively, while placebo only resulted in weight reductions of 1.0 kg and 1.4 kg, respectively

Managing side effects is part of the process
Evidence from GLP-1 and obesity research doesnt support the above
