A New Obesity Pill May Burn Fat Without Suppressing Appetite


An investigational drug developed by Eolo Pharma is showing promise in animal experiments and an early human trial. It could eventually be an alternative or add-on to popular GLP-1 medications.

An experimental obesity pill that works in a different way from the wildly popular Ozempic may help people lose weight, according to results from a small, preliminary human trial. Creatine is perhaps best known as a nutritional supplement taken after exercise to help build muscle mass, but the compound also occurs naturally in the human body and is important for energy production. In the first part of the trial, Eolo scientists randomly assigned 17 healthy-weight individuals to receive either a placebo or a single pill of SANA at a low, medium, or high dose.
