La Francia rimborsa Mounjaro e Wegovy per l'obesità grave

A partire da questo lunedì, la previdenza sociale copre Mounjaro e Wegovy per i pazienti affetti da obesità grave o diabete. Si tratta di una prima assoluta in Europa.

I due farmaci, analoghi del GLP-1, sono ora rimborsabili per le persone idonee. In precedenza, i pazienti potevano arrivare a pagare di tasca propria fino a 500 euro al mese.

La dottoressa Géraldine Skurnik, endocrinologa, riferisce di aver ricevuto circa quindici chiamate da pazienti in quindici giorni. Altri venti, i cui appuntamenti erano già stati fissati, diventano idonei al rimborso.

Questi trattamenti promettono una perdita di peso media del 15%, a condizione che il paziente continui la terapia. Questa misura risponde a una forte richiesta da parte degli interessati.

People who lose weight using GLP-1 medications such as Ozempic and Wegovy may be judged more negatively than those who lose weight through diet and exercise — and even more negatively than people who do not lose weight at all — according to a new study led by Rice University psychologist Erin Standen.

Young Indians are turning to diabetes drugs Ozempic and Mounjaro for rapid weight loss before weddings and job interviews, as experts warn of cosmetic misuse, grey market dangers, and rising lookism. These GLP-1 drugs are meant for obesity and diabetes, not vanity purposes, doctors emphasize.

Scientists have developed a hybrid obesity treatment that uses GLP-1 and GIP signals to deliver a metabolic enhancer directly into cells. Early tests in mice showed greater weight loss and better blood sugar control than standard therapies. The approach aims to reduce side effects by limiting the drug's action to targeted areas.

A large study tracking nearly 100,000 people in Sweden found that GLP-1 receptor agonists like semaglutide, sold as Ozempic and Wegovy, are associated with significantly fewer psychiatric hospital visits and reduced sick days due to mental health issues. Researchers observed drops of up to 47% in various mental health risks during drug use periods. The findings appear in The Lancet Psychiatry.
