glp 1 and diverticulitis Semaglutide Diverticulitis: Safety Guide Can You Take Weight Loss

What if semaglutide doesn't work for me

Most patients received AOM semaglutide (94.1%)

But some 15% to 20% of people with diverticulosis go on to develop an inflammatory complication called diverticulitis (two-thirds mild to moderate, one-third serious) and 5% to 10% develop bleeding (two-thirds mild to moderate, one-third life-threatening)

These effects are greater than those seen with older weight loss medications (typically ~5% total weight loss) and close to typical weight loss seen with bariatric surgery

This precision approach increases the likelihood of successful weight loss while minimizing side effects and treatment abandonment
