When considering study drug discontinuation or use of rescue medication (trial product estimand results), the weight loss resulting from the use of oral semaglutide was up to 5 kg, while that associated with other active comparators ranged from 0.8 to 3.8 kg, and that associated with placebo ranged from 0.1 to + 0.6 kg [35,36,37,38,39,40]
Despite these discoveries, the relationship between them and the mechanisms of action within the gastrointestinal tract has not been clearly established, suggesting that further research in this area is warranted
