Yes, this is what Novo Nordisk did with Victoza around 2014 with the release of Saxenda. And then again with Ozempic around 2021 with Wegovy. These weight loss versions exist. And there will be one likely this year based on tirzepatide from Lilly (I haven't looked up if they have a name for it yet).
