[4] [5] Semaglutide works by mimicking the incretin hormone GLP-1, which stimulates insulin secretion in a glucose-dependent manner, suppresses glucagon release, slows gastric emptying, and reduces appetite through central nervous system pathways
While semaglutide itself does not cause significant hepatotoxicity, patients with pre-existing liver disease, those who consume 3 or more alcoholic drinks every day, or individuals taking other potentially hepatotoxic medications should consult their healthcare provider before regular acetaminophen use
But there was no comparison group, the time between injection and follow-up wasnt standardized, the authors didnt report how much the patients pain had improved, and the patients didnt even suffer from the same kind of knee pain

GLP-1 agonists are called incretin mimetics as they mimic their effect
