In this solo episode of Modern Thyroid and Wellness, host McCall McPherson delivers a passionate and research-backed message on the overlooked dangers of subclinical hypothyroidism
Currently available treatment options in the United States include phentermine, orlistat, a fixed-dose combination of phentermine and topiramate extended-release (ER), a fixed-dose combination of naltrexone sustained release (SR) and bupropion SR, liraglutide, semaglutide and tirzepatide
Semaglutide is a prescription medication approved by the FDA to help manage type 2 diabetes (Ozempic) and to support long-term weight loss (Wegovy)
More recently, due to the ongoing obesity epidemic and the better outcomes of the newer AOMs (i.e., GLP-1 medications), some plan sponsors are either choosing to add anti-obesity coverage in their pharmacy benefit or are at least considering doing so
Orforglipron also demonstrated superiority over oral semaglutide (Rybelsus) in a head-to-head trial for blood sugar control and weight loss in type 2 diabetes, delivering better results with fewer food and water intake restrictions
