The maker of the weight loss drugs Ozepmic and WeGovy has revealed a new pill for weight loss that’s twice as effective as its existing jabs.
The Danish drugmaker said early trials for an experimental obesity drug called amycretin have shown that patients were able to lose more than 13% of their body weight after 12 weeks. This is more than twice as effective as its comparable Wegovy treatment, which helped patients lose around 6% in the same period.
