Survodutide (Survodutide (Dual GLP-1/Glucagon Agonist))

Category: Weight Management. Status: Phase 3 Clinical Trial.

A dual agonist of GLP-1 and glucagon receptors being developed for obesity and MASH. Glucagon component provides added metabolic benefits through increased energy expenditure.

How it works

Activates GLP-1 receptors to reduce appetite while glucagon receptor activation increases hepatic fat oxidation, energy expenditure, and amino acid catabolism.
