Nasal Spray for obesity
Nastech has deveolped a new drug to treat obesity. This drug is in nasal spray form and according the test taken, show that the drug is effective. The spray contains the effective peptide ingredient called YY 3-36(PYY), a hormone made by the small intestine. This hormone is what sends the message to brain saying they have ate enough. An experiment was conducted by giving volunteers a dose of this drug and some were just given placebo. The participants then went to a buffet lunch, and those who took the YY 3-36 ate 30% less than those who were just given the placebo. The drug is not yet on the market, but they are working towards it. The very few drugs that are on the market for weightloss and obesity normal contain side effects, they are hoping this one will not. Another positive of this drug is it would not have to be taken as an injection, instead its just nasal spray!
