Does Wegovy, also known as semaglutide or Ozempic, help or harm your kidneys? According to some “google doctors” in my comment sections, the answer is a resounding YES! But, hold on-it’s not that simple. If you take a GLP-1 based medication like Wegovy and drastically reduce your water intake or experience vomiting and diarrhea, you could become dehydrated, which might harm your kidneys. But it’s not the Wegovy itself causing harm; it’s these rare circumstances that might lead to kidney issues.
On the flip side, exciting new research suggests Wegovy could actually protect your kidneys!
A large, randomized controlled trial, the FLOW Trial, involved 3,500 people with Type 2 Diabetes and CKD. Participants were split into two groups: one received semaglutide, and the other got a placebo, with everyone on the drug for about 3.4 years. The trial aimed to see if semaglutide could reduce the risk of kidney failure, significant kidney function decline, and kidney or heart disease.
The results? Semaglutide reduced the risk of these combined outcomes by 24%. Specifically, it lowered the risk of a major reduction in kidney function by 27% and the risk of dying from heart disease by 29%. It also reduced the risk of dying from any cause by 20% and slowed the yearly decline in kidney function by about 1.16ml/min. These findings suggest that semaglutide has significant protective effects on the kidneys.
Regarding side effects, nothing new emerged from this trial. The standard GLP-1 side effects like nausea, heartburn, and constipation were observed. The trial spanned three years, adding to the long-term safety profile of semaglutide.
Overall, this study was well-designed. Despite the involvement of Novo Nordisk, the trial sponsor, independent consultants verified the data. The results are a win for semaglutide and GLP-1 based therapies, showing benefits in reducing risks and protecting kidney function in people with Type 2 Diabetes and CKD.
Thanks for watching and always remember: small tweaks lead to massive peaks!

    Due to shortages I switched from 7.5 Mounjaro to 1 Ozempic. I did find that side effects were a bit rough. I also found that diabetes control was not as good. I added metformin and have stayed on 1 Ozempic. Side effects have subsided. I would rather be on Mounjaro. I’ll go back when shortages end. This is useful. I’ll probably be at the weight I want to be before I get back on Mounjaro.

    Can you help clarify something? I read that the tirz patent is a publicly available "recipe". That's how patents work. The thing that you are patenting isn't a secret. Compound pharmacies acquire the already baked "recipe" and reconstitute it. So, the salt is the same but the solution is different. I think you are saying the compound pharmacies are inventing their own "recipe". Is that what you are saying? Thanks for this info.

    • @theofficialdrdan
      @theofficialdrdan День тому

      The branded and FDA approved versions of Mounjaro, and Zepbound contain tirzepatide made from a specific form of the compound, known as its base. Yes, the molecular structure and most of the details on how Eli Lilly manufacturers the drug is available. However, Eli Lilly is the only one that can manufacturer the form that is FDA approved. Compounding pharmacies are using salt forms of tirzepatide (usually research grade). Which have tirzepatide but as a salt vs. the original base. Some will say it becomes the same tirzepatide base once dissolved in solution but we have no data to say that is the case. Further compounding pharmacies are adding other components like B vitamins which may change the efficacy, safety, etc. So making their own recipe in that case. Again we have no data to say if it is any good, safe, or what have you!

After first injection, the next day I started having pain in my right kidney (I do have polycystic kidneys) the pain lasted for approximately 6 days. Do you think this might have been a side effect of the ozempic? My body adjusting to it?
