Methods: 25 women with PCOS and obesity, aged 33.7 5.3 years (mean SD), were treated with once-weekly subcutaneous semaglutide 1.0 mg as an adjunct to metformin 2000 mg/day and lifestyle intervention for 16 weeks
Liraglutide is a synthetic analog of glucagon-like peptide-1, which is utilized in the treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity
Additionally, online platforms often provide competitive pricing, subscription refills, and reminders for adherence, which are boosting patient convenience and accelerating market expansion
The key to success with these treatments involves patience and adherence to the gradual dosage increase schedules designed to minimize side effects while maximizing results
