Taking a weekly semaglutide shot (2.4 mg) might help obese adults with a certain type of heart failure feel better and move more easily, based on patient-reported quality of life scores.

People who are obese, have type 2 diabetes, and a certain kind of heart failure might lose over 10% of their body weight if they take a weekly shot called semaglutide, and this could help calm heart inflammation and make them feel better overall.

A weekly 2.4 mg dose of semaglutide seems to cut inflammation by nearly half in obese adults with a certain type of heart failure — and that might help them feel better and live longer.

Taking a weekly semaglutide shot (2.4 mg) for about a year and a half can help lower blood pressure, blood sugar, bad cholesterol, and body-wide inflammation in adults with extra weight but no diabetes—better than a placebo.

Taking a weekly semaglutide shot (2.4 mg) for about a year helps people with extra weight feel more physically capable and improves their overall quality of life—more than a dummy pill would.

A weekly injection of semaglutide (2.4 mg) helps lower the risk of serious heart problems like heart attack, stroke, or heart-related death by 20% in people over 45 who have heart disease and are overweight, but don’t have diabetes, compared to a fake treatment.
