New anti-obesity ally: amicretina arrives
New study presents a tool to determine the need for coronary angioplasty through AI
The battle against obesity may have found a new ally. Amicretina, an experimental pill developed by Novo Nordisk, has shown promising results in a phase I clinical trial, offering real hope to millions of people around the world.
How does amicretina work?
Obesity is a complex disease, often linked to genetic, environmental and behavioural factors. Amicretin acts in an innovative way, imitating the action of two hormones naturally produced by our body: GLP-1 and amyline. These hormones play a key role in regulating appetite and satiety. Amicretin, acting on both of these mechanisms, helps to reduce food intake and promote sustainable weight loss over time.
The results of the clinical study
The results of the phase I clinical trial were surprising. Patients who took amicretina showed an average weight loss of up to 13.1% after only 12 weeks of treatment. This is significantly higher than that achieved with other drugs already available on the market, which often require longer times and higher dosages to achieve similar results. In addition, amicretin has been shown to be safe and well tolerated by patients, with side effects generally mild and transient, mainly on the gastrointestinal tract.
Why is amicretina an important new product?
Amicretina is distinguished from other drugs by its oral formulation, which makes it more convenient and easier to take than injections. In addition, its dual action on GLP-1 and amyline makes it a promising candidate for the treatment of obesity, a disease that often requires a multifactorial therapeutic approach.
