There has never been such widespread and popularized use of compounded products due to shortages. Will consumers rise up with pitchforks if the party is shut down?

CagriSema is a subcutaneous injectable combination of cagrilintide and semaglutide that is currently in phase 3 trials.

Off-label semaglutide has been linked to serious adverse effects, calling for increased regulation around compounding.

In addition to GLP-1s, dual GLP-1 and GIP agonists, intestinal lipase inhibitors, sympathomimetics, and other agents can help patients lose weight.

The study investigated faricimab-svoa (Vabysmo) as treatment of diabetic macular edema for patients in racial and ethnic groups that are often underrepresented in trials.

Oral semaglutide had a safe and well-tolerated profile for individuals with type 2 diabetes, which is in line with those previously reported for the drug in other trials.

Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists are widely known as treatments for type 2 diabetes, though some have been approved for indications beyond diabetes.

The call follows the FDA’s sudden removal of tirzepatide from the drug shortage list, preventing compounding pharmacies from providing the drug.

The agency does not intend to take action against the plaintiffs for the violation of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, including the compounding of tirzepatide.

Pharmacists can educate patients about how to recognize unsafe online sources of medications and ensure patients are properly educate on how to administer their medications.

The FDA faces a multitude of challenges in regulating artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) medical devices.

The lawsuit alleges that the action was taken without the required notice and disputes the agency’s warning of “localized supply disruption,” while calling for more transparency.

Results are promising, particularly because they represent the second clinical trial of a GLP-1 receptor agonist showing potential benefits for PD motor symptoms

The analysis assessed the feasibility of autologous transplantation of chemically-induced pluripotent stem cell-derived islets for type 1 diabetes.

As of now, data suggest minimal risk of drug interactions between oral contraceptives and injectable semaglutide.

The weight loss drug continues to show promise in treating a variety of other conditions.

The results validate the protective benefits of the sodium–glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors on renal function for those with type 2 diabetes.

Empathy is being left outside the exam room door.

Three of the largest pharmacy benefit managers ––Express Scripts, Optum, and Caremark––are listed in the suit.

Eversense 365 (Senseonics) is the first long-lasting continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) system, which includes a 365-day sensor and only 1 insertion on Day 1 of every year.

Data show the value of the pharmacist is clear for patients with type 2 diabetes, as their role can have a significant impact on reductions in hemoglobin A1c.

Pharmacists should be aware of these digital therapeutics, which are often used as an adjunct to medication, to better understand the treatment outcomes.

Previously, the device was indicated for the management of type 1 diabetes in patients aged 2 years and older.
