'SanPlena' has launched the 'EOPatch' wearable drug delivery system that aids with weight loss. SanPlena is a joint company comprised of 'EOFlow,' the drug delivery solutions company, and 'Zihipp,' the weight loss therapy company. The EOPatch is a wearable drug delivery platform that is incredibly compact. SanPlena stated that its EOPatch should be applied twice a week, which is less frequent than drugs that require daily injections.
This reduced frequency helps with managing side effects, especially when combined with the slow-release system of a patch. SanPlena claims the EOPatch delivers results of up to 10% to 15% weight loss in less than three months. The unintrusive, undemanding nature of an applied patch should help patients meet their weight loss goals, especially when combined with other health-focused practices, such as exercise and meal planning.
