So, I got a new young doc, pretty out of the box thinker.
We have now started using semaglutide low dose on my older schizophrenic patients to offset the hunger and weight gain from long term heavy antipsychotics.
And it’s working. Blood sugars are down in the 3-4 I’ve been keeping up with, and all of them have lost a few pounds. I can’t really put a number on it, just like 3-4 pounds across the board
And this is with energy dense meal trays, locked unit with little activity.
I just thought it was really neat to see a glp-1 agonist being used for that. I just needed to tell someone. My co workers don’t get as excited as me when it comes to pharmacology lol
