| A new drug has been found very effecitve in a study funded by Novo Nordisk but carried out independently. The drug, semaglutide, is given on a weekly base and has led to a weight loss of 5kg on average over a 12 week period. The drug targets receptors in the brain's appetite control system and reduces the craving for food. |
