Eli Lilly Obesity Pill Shows Strong Results for Sleep Apnea
A new daily weight-loss pill from Eli Lilly helps patients with sleep apnea breathe better at night.
Millions of people struggle to breathe while they sleep. Many of these adults also carry extra weight. A new pill could soon bring them relief without nightly masks or weekly shots.
Drugmaker Eli Lilly tested a daily obesity pill called Foundayo in a late-stage trial. Patients in the study suffered from moderate to severe sleep apnea. The treatment cut their nighttime breathing pauses and helped them drop excess pounds.
Eli Lilly plans to submit the pill to federal health regulators for approval by the end of the year. A successful review will offer patients an oral option to treat both weight and sleep troubles together.
Good sleep protects your heart and restores your daily energy. An easy morning pill could soon help millions of people wake up rested.
