Researchers evaluated Long COVID patients who exhibited elevated levels of von Willebrand factor (vWF)a blood-clotting protein linked to spike-induced microclots that block oxygen delivery to tissues
Currently, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has only approved three oral GLP-1s: Rybelsus , which contains the same active ingredient as injectable Wegovy and Ozempic ( semaglutide )
There were five deaths among exposed participants (of which one was in the Chinese subpopulation): two in the oral semaglutide 3 mg arm from infection (one as a result of acute exacerbation of interstitial lung disease and one from COVID-19 pneumonia), two in the oral semaglutide 7 mg arm from infection and other causes (COVID-19 pneumonia and pulmonary embolism) and one in the oral semaglutide 14 mg arm (undetermined cause)
