A large trial showed that semaglutide, sold as Ozempic for diabetes and as Wegovy for obesity, was better than any current medications in alleviating symptoms.
As patients consider drugs like Wegovy, Ozempic, Zepbound and Mounjaro to treat obesity, experts say the choices are not so simple.
Public employees in West Virginia who took the drugs lost weight and were healthier, and some are despondent that the state is canceling a program to help pay for them.

The shortage highlights a widening gulf in the standard of care for people with diabetes, most of whom live in low-income countries.
“Obesity first” doctors say they start with one medication, to treat obesity, and often find other chronic diseases, like rheumatoid arthritis, simply vanish.
An array of obstacles makes it difficult for patients to obtain Wegovy or Zepbound. Finding Wegovy is “like winning the lottery,” one nurse practitioner said.
Starting April 1, state employees in North Carolina will no longer have insurance coverage for costly weight-loss medications like Wegovy and Zepbound.
Zepbound, which is already sold by Eli Lilly as the diabetes treatment Mounjaro, was shown to reduce patients’ weight by as much as one-fifth in drug trials.
