Ozempic and Wegovy are transforming the approach to managing type 2 diabetes and obesity.
Looking ahead, these medications may also hold promise in addressing a critical global health concern: Alzheimer’s disease.
Current Clinical Trials
At present, two clinical trials are in progress to assess the effectiveness of semaglutide, the active compound found in both Ozempic and Wegovy, as a treatment for early-stage Alzheimer’s. These studies are expected to conclude by 2025.
Potential Breakthrough
If the results are positive, it could represent a major breakthrough in the treatment of this complex disease.
