If semaglutide is not producing adequate results, switching to tirzepatide is a common next step
Altintas Dogan et al 75 experiment found that liraglutide significantly reduced body weight, decreased inflammatory markers such as IL-6 and MCP-1, increased exertional spirometry (FVC) and carbon monoxide diffusion capacity, and improved COPD assessment test scores, but no significant improvement in FEV1, FEV1/FVC, or 6-minute walk tests, suggesting the possibility that GLP-1RA may reduce inflammatory responses, improve lung function, and mitigate the degree of impaired health in patients with COPD
