Improved quality of life with semaglutide in schizophrenia: Secondary analyses from a randomized controlled trial

Abstract

Semaglutide improved physical QoL in patients with schizophrenia, and weight loss may partially contribute to this effect. Longer-term studies are needed to determine whether mental QoL or symptom effects emerge beyond 30 weeks.
