Abstract

In a population of 3739 patients prescribed semaglutide, average decreases were observed in BMI by 1.54 kg/min, weight by 4.65 kg, and HbA1c by 0.75%.

  • Patients on injectable semaglutide averaged 301.54 days on the medication, while those on oral semaglutide averaged 172.48 days.
  • Approximately 20.36% of injectable users and 24.60% of oral users had no defined end date for their treatment.
  • The largest reductions in BMI, weight, and HbA1c were noted in participants using the injectable formulation, likely due to higher initial values.
  • Improvements in BMI, weight, and HbA1c diminished over time but remained significantly lower than baseline levels.
  • Only 1.0% of patients reported newly diagnosed common adverse events associated with semaglutide.
