Now8 September 2026 at 11:36

The study revealed that people with asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease who received this new treatment had fewer acute respiratory crises. The results suggest that these medications may have benefits that go beyond weight loss, positively affecting the respiratory airways. The research opens new perspectives for the treatment of chronic respiratory diseases.
