Dr. Oz once asked the question on his titular talk show, “Could a diabetes drug cure obesity?” He was referring to semaglutide, better known as Ozempic and Wegovy, following a surge in demand for the medication.

Four key factors can greatly impact how much weight people lose while taking GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic, Wegovy, Victoza, and Saxenda. Here's what to know.

Injectable prescription drugs that reduce appetite — like Ozempic, Saxenda and Mounjaro — have skyrocketed in popularity in recent years.

Half a century of advancements in biomedical science paved the way for today's powerful weight-loss drugs like Ozempic -- so what was that journey like for the scientists involved?

Research has shown there are plenty of perks of using a medication like Ozempic for weight loss. But, given that this is a drug, there are some potential downsides to consider, too. New research published in JAMA Network Open links GLP-1 receptor agonists—a class of medications that includes semaglutide medications like Ozempic and Wegovy—to a loss of bone density.
