    Survodutide for Obesity: A New Dual-Action Approach

    Survodutide is an investigational once-weekly medication that activates both glucagon and GLP-1 receptors. In the phase 3 SYNCHRONIZE-1 trial, adults with obesity or qualifying overweight lost an average of 12.2% with the 3.6-mg regimen and 13.0% with the 6.0-mg regimen. This article explains the results, the placebo comparison, and why the highest dose did not clearly provide the best overall balance for every individual patient.
