Several pharmaceutical companies are developing pill versions of Ozempic-like drugs. These drugs are injectable medications known for their effectiveness in weight loss. The development of these pills aims to cater to individuals who desire weight loss but dislike needles.
Novo Nordisk, the maker of Ozempic, is working on one of the most promising pill versions called Rybelsus. This pill has already received FDA approval for treating Type 2 diabetes. Novo Nordisk is currently conducting clinical trials to determine if Rybelsus is also effective for weight loss.
Another company involved in developing a pill version of Ozempic is Eli Lilly. Their pill, named Mounjaro, is currently in phase 3 clinical trials. These trials focus on testing its efficacy for treating both Type 2 diabetes and weight loss.
While it is too early to provide a definite timeline, the availability of pill versions of Ozempic-like drugs to the public remains uncertain. However, if successful, these pills could present a more convenient and less invasive option for individuals seeking weight loss.
In addition to Rybelsus and Mounjaro, there are several other pill versions of Ozempic-like drugs that are in development. These include:
- Semaglutide tablets (from Novo Nordisk)
- Tirzepatide tablets (from Eli Lilly)
- Dulaglutide tablets (from AstraZeneca)
These pills are all still in the early stages of development, but they have the potential to offer a new and effective way to lose weight.
It will be interesting to see how these pill versions of Ozempic-like drugs compare to the injectable versions. If they are found to be just as effective, they could offer a more convenient and less invasive option for people who want to lose weight.
