Many patients come in just for B12 without any other treatment
In Phase 2 research, this pharmacological profile translated into the largest average weight reductions ever reported for a once-weekly peptide, catalyzing widespread interest among endocrinologists, obesity researchers, and metabolic-disease scientists
Vegans and vegetarians may not get enough B12 from their diet
Not as commonly used as plain bacteriostatic water but acceptable for most peptides
The medication further slows gastric emptying, which could exacerbate pre-existing motility issues
Other reported mechanisms include activation of FAK-paxillin complexes (which help cells migrate and attach to surfaces during wound healing), JAK-2 signaling, and ERK1/2 pathway activity (Sikiric et al., Current Neuropharmacology, 2016
