Once-weekly semaglutide in persons with obesity and knee osteoarthritis
Ozempic, for example, is typically initiated at a dose of 0.25 mg once a week, with gradual escalations to 0.5 mg, 1 mg, and up to 2 mg, depending on the patient's response and tolerance
While this type of testing is not the same as FDA approval, it can provide an additional layer of quality assurance beyond internal processes
Lowering inflammatory cytokines Studies in Nature and Diabetes show that GLP-1 reduces cytokines such as TNF-alpha, IL-6, and IL-1, which are major players in autoimmune diseases and arthritis
