Title: Weight loss post menopause with Semaglutide (Oxempic) - with / without HRT
Post by: KatyB on May 01, 2025, 01:50:07 PM

Hi all, thought some of you might find this interesting - I did...it talks about menopause and 'skinny jabs'. I've summarised the research findings in case the link isn't easy to access:

In this study, the weight loss response to semaglutide differed between postmenopausal women with and without HT use. Three, 6, 9, and 12 months after semaglutide initiation, HT use was associated with approximately 30% more weight loss. After adjusting for potential confounding variables this association remained significant across time. Similarly, at 12 months, HT use was associated with a greater probability of achieving ≥5% and ≥10% TBWL. The weight loss observed in our study was associated with an improvement in cardiometabolic risk markers, regardless of HT use.

I wasn't aware that this particular product had been on the market long enough to have a Study, any idea who sponsored the Research?
