FDA Approves Pill Version of Wegovy (wired.com)

"Novo says the starting dose of the pill, 1.5 milligrams, will be available in early January for $149 per month with savings offers."

That would be kind of amazing. I've been debating trying something like it or Ozempic to try and lose some weight.

This is a critical moment in healthcare for America. We might see the end of the era of metabolic syndrome.

from the linked drug trial article, https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2500969:

  Gastrointestinal adverse events were more common with oral semaglutide than with placebo (74.0% vs. 42.2%).

That placebo value seems high (42.2%), given it's just a placebo (sugar pill?).
