Shepherd, who lives in Florida, told "Good Morning America" she has been able to maintain her weight loss two months after stopping the medication
In REDEFINE 1, which enrolled 3,400 adults without diabetes but with at least one weight-related condition, CagriSema led to an average weight loss of 20.4% at Week 68 , compared to 14.9% with semaglutide, 11.5% with cagrilintide, and 3% with placebo
Semaglutide is designed for people who are struggling with weight loss
Beyond standard inclusion criteria, genetic variants in peptide pathways may inform whether semaglutide alone is optimal or whether combination therapy (like tirzepatide, which targets both GLP-1 and GIP receptors) warrants consideration
