Users of New Weight Loss Drug Had Lower Blood Pressure in Study
Briefly

"The blood pressure reduction, said Dr. James de Lemos, a cardiologist at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center and the lead author of the study, is about what would be expected with a full dose of a blood pressure medicine."
"The new study applied a more rigorous criteria: Did participants taking the drug have lower pressures when measured with a 24-hour monitor? They did."
"But, he noted, it was not possible to distinguish the effect if any that the drug had on blood pressure from the well-known effect that weight loss has on reducing blood pressure."
