The mechanism is distinct from PDE5 inhibitors (which act peripherally on vascular smooth muscle) and from hormonal treatments (which modulate circulating hormone levels)
Semaglutide: Promotes weight loss by reducing appetite and caloric intake via GLP-1 receptor activation Trevogrumab: Blocks myostatin, a protein that limits muscle growth, thereby promoting muscle mass increase Garetosmab: Inhibits activin A, AB, and AC, which are also negative regulators of muscle mass, further supporting muscle growth and fat reduction Clinical Trial Findings Phase 2 COURAGE Trial Design: Randomized, double-blind, with multiple arms including semaglutide alone, semaglutide plus trevogrumab (high/low dose), and semaglutide plus trevogrumab and garetosmab
Repeated injections in the exact same spot can cause lipohypertrophy, where fatty tissue changes texture and affects absorption
Standard ASA fasting guidelines apply to most patients (clear liquids until 2 hours before, solids until 6-8 hours before)
