In a clinical trial, this small-molecule drug was found to be superior to semaglutide for lowering blood sugar.

Semaglutide (better known as Wegovy) may help people with obesity lose up to 25% of their body weight when used at a higher dose.
Os resultados dos estudos de fase 1 da Novo Nordisk mostram que a pílula oral para perda de peso pode ser mais eficaz do que a semaglutida
The results of Novo Nordisk’s phase 1 trials shows the oral weight loss pill could be more effective than semaglutide.
When people stopped taking one of the new weight-loss jabs they regained around 60% of their lost weight.
People who are obese, as well as those who are overweight and have weight-related issues, may soon be able to ask their doctor for a prescription.
Obesity is said to cost the NHS an estimated £6 billion a year.
