The medicine, which loses 24kg, came into Korea…How much is the price

Diabetes drugs that show 24kg weight loss effects with one injection a week are coming into Korea

The Ministry of Food and Drug Safety announced on the 29th that it has approved Eli Lilly’s new dietary and exercise therapy drug, Mountainero Freefield Penju or lower, to control blood sugar in adult type 2 diabetes patients

This drug selectively binds to insulin secretion-stimulating peptide GIP receptors and glucagon-like peptide-1GLP-1 receptors, inducing blood sugar reduction before and after meals through action mechanisms such as △ promoting insulin secretion △ improving insulin resistance △ reducing glucagon secretion Glucagon is a hormone that is released when blood sugar drops As opposed to insulin, it raises blood sugar in the body

Mountaineering is a diabetes treatment, but it previously gained popularity overseas for its weight loss effects. Mountaineering reduced participants’ weight by up to 24 kg in the SURMOUNT-1 clinical trial in 2,539 overweight patients with obesity or underlying diseases

In other words, he lost an average of 225 pounds from his pre-clinical weight However, in order to achieve this effect, you must take an injection once a week until the 72nd week

Sanjaro is still licensed only as a diabetes drug in the United States However, obese patients without diabetes are also known to obtain and use drugs Mountaineering will soon complete its obesity-related clinical trial and receive permission from U.S. regulators

In Korea, obese patients can use this drug if they use off-label and off-label without permission However, the high price of medicine is a problem. In the United States, the cost of taking the drug from Mountain is 1,100 to 1,500 dollars per four weeks, which costs 1.44 million won to almost 2 million won per month
