Why it matters

Obesity management increasingly relies on incretin-based therapies, but dual glucagon/GLP-1 agonism may offer greater weight loss than GLP-1 alone. Mazdutide's efficacy at 10 mg and 16 mg approaches that of bariatric surgery, potentially expanding options for patients needing substantial weight reduction.
