GIP and GLP-1 are naturally occurring hormones released by the intestine in response to food intake, and they play crucial roles in glucose regulation and appetite control

Semaglutide is similar in physiology to a naturally occurring hormone in your body called GLP-1
A stomach that hasnt fully emptied can mean its contents come back up during the procedure, and if that material reaches the lungs, the result is aspiration pneumonia, which can be fatal
Once injectable semaglutide (Ozempic) goes off-patent in 2032, there is a substantial likelihood of market erosion for Rybelsus
