Wegovy says pill version works better than injection | NewsNation Now

Novo Nordisk says its weight loss drug, Wegovy, works better as a pill than in the form of an injection. The drugmaker now plans to submit the Wegovy pill for Food and Drug Administration approval later this year.

Once, more into the breach. Ozempic and Wegovy are already in pill form. It's called Rybelus. Apparently, what Novo Nordisk is talking about is a higher dosage of Rybelsus.

This is great, maybe it will be easier to get and cheaper.

How is treating a disease a quick fix?

[@TheEnigmaProductions]

I need it! I’ve been struggling with weight my whole life I just hope my insurance covers it.

[@reneebands4361]

They stop taking it because of the COST!

[@userasdf1546]

Why do they stop using it? Is it because they reached their goal weight?

[@sarahbartlett9870]

Their insurance stops covering it

[@privatbruker5905]

Forgot the part where is Destroying you're liver etc 😂 so no the injectable is way better and you don't have time time you're pill etc

[@colorbugoriginals4457]

it'd be cool if diabetic patients who need it could be prioritized as long as there are shortages

[@hussienelgabry]

Wegovy is not authorized for diabetes, only obesity.

[@beelikemizu604]

Injection vs swallowing a pill... that's a no-brainer what most people would prefer & therefore works better. If you don't have a legit medical condition (physical disabilities not related to weight, thyroid condition, etc), your laziness avoiding proper diet & exercise will come at a medical cost to your body...choose wisely unless you don't care how long you live & how healthy your organs function 🤷‍♂️

[@pmangum6879]

Wait 'til you get older and your metabolism slows down and proper diet and exercise don't work anymore. My GP and heart doctor both strongly approve of my trying this.

[@beelikemizu604]

@pmangum6879 That's why I stated "If you don't have a legit medical condition"...

[@beelikemizu604]

@pmangum6879 I'm a mid-century retired Marine & still getting it in the gym with a slew of medical problems...watch a couple David Goggins videos and you'll understand how people can keep going strong with medical issues.

Where’d you get your medical degree again?

[@beelikemizu604]

@gregorydowns6800 Do you recognize a cat when you see it? Where did you get your veterinary degree 🤣 Do a little research on your own, it doesn't take any degree to do that LoL

[@drinkmorewater3904]

great... a new pill for people to be dependent on

[@camronrubin8599]

Just eat plants and animals bro . Meat/nuts/veggies. Be careful with fruit if you’re diabetic . Or carnivore . Believe it or not I tried carnivore and I’ve never felt healthier . I’ll probably be doing it again soon .

Don't let them experiment on you. Look into low carb/ keto.

[@simmonskelly70]

Low carb keto does not work for everyone!
