Wegovy reverses obesity in study with young children

A new clinical study showed that Wegovy, Novo Nordisk's obesity drug based on semaglutide, helped two out of every five young children stop being classified as obese after about a year of treatment. The majority of participants (85%) had severe obesity at the start of the tests, with ages between over 6 and under 12 years. The drug, currently approved only from age 12, was administered in weekly doses of up to 2.4 mg via injection. The results represent a significant advance in the treatment of childhood obesity, suggesting that the drug may be a viable therapeutic option for younger children in the future.
