Interesting.

The impact of tirzepatide was evaluated over 52 weeks.

Researchers found that tirzepatide led to a significant decrease in the number of breathing interruptions during sleep

I wonder how they measured this over 52 weeks. Did they just turn a cpap down to near 0 and measure events? Or did the test subjects have to wire themselves up with those 20 or so colored wires that you do during a sleep test?

I use CPAP and am on Mounjaro 10mg now (just upped from 7.5). Lost about 35 pounds or so in a year. Had CPAP since 2008. Would love to go off it, but I feel kind of dependent on it. Very difficult to fall asleep without it.

tirzepatide is a WEIGH LOSS drug and has zero direct affect on apnea or sleep ... ANY medication, medical procedure or lifestyle improvement that assisted weight loss would have exactly the same result as tirzepatide: reduced need for CPAP and improved sleep ...

somehow big pharma managed to get both the medical media and the consumer media to go along with their ridiculous and grossly misleading nonsense about this WEIGHT LOSS drug ...
