Long-term safety is unknown
The term "related impurities" as used herein, is intended to mean one or more impurities with a different local or overall net charge from the GLP-1 peptide, for instance truncated forms, all kinds of extended forms (extra amino acids, various derivatives including esters etc.), deamidated forms, incorrectly folded forms, forms with undesired glycosylation including sialylation, and others
Weight loss results with semaglutide are gradual but can be dramatic over time
