A new weight loss drug hailed as "more powerful than Ozempic" could be approved by medics this year.
Obese patients who took tirzepatide injections lost up to 16% of their body weight, or more than 34 pounds, over nearly 17 months, a recent study found.
The late-stage study of the drug for weight loss adds to earlier evidence that similar participants without diabetes lost up to 22% of their body weight over that period with weekly injections of the drug.
