Neutrophilic Urticaria Following Semaglutide Use () - Nov 6, 2023 - Abstract #ISDS2023ISDS_408; We present a unique case of a patient with no significant medical history who recently started Semaglutide (Ozempic) for weight loss and developed a debilitating diffuse urticarial rash, requiring multiple emergency room visits for intramuscular epinephrine treatments...The patient discontinued Semaglutide and her symptoms significantly improved, but she continues to have breakthrough episodes of pruritic rash and edema, requiring self-treatment with Diphenhydramine...However, there have been multiple adverse outcomes reported with the use of Semaglutide, thus it is important to continue monitoring patients regardless of past medical history. With increasing fame and wide acceptance of these novel therapeutics, it is important to report such adverse outcomes to expand on ourliterature and understanding, to better educate our patient populations prior to the initiation of such therapies and provide a cautionary plan in the case that adverse events do occur

Journal: Effect of Switching to Once-Weekly Semaglutide on Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease: The SWITCH-SEMA 1 Subanalysis. (Pubmed Central) - Aug 26, 2023 This was a subanalysis of the SWITCH-SEMA 1 study, a multicenter, prospective, randomized, parallel-group trial comparing switching from liraglutide or dulaglutide to once-weekly semaglutide in subjects with T2DM (SWITCH) versus continuing current GLP-1RAs (Continue) for 24 weeks...The multiple linear regression analysis revealed that the switch from dulaglutide was associated with an improvement in FLI (p = 0.041). Switching from conventional GLP-1RAs to once-weekly semaglutide might be beneficial for individuals with NAFLD complicated with T2DM.
