CroatiaThe article discusses a recent study comparing the effectiveness of weight loss medications in tablet form versus injections. It highlights the emergence of the first oral weight loss medication available in the UK, which offers a more convenient alternative to weekly injections. The study analyzed over 99,000 patients across 262 studies and found that the injectable drug Mounjaro resulted in the highest fat mass loss (25.7%) and overall body weight loss (19.9%), while the tablet Wegovy showed significantly lower results (10.9%). However, Wegovy was associated with reduced risks of heart attack, heart failure, and all-cause mortality. The study notes limitations, including short follow-up periods and lack of evidence on quality of life improvements. The article emphasizes the potential benefits of tablets for those who find injections inconvenient.
