The popular weight loss drug Ozempic has been used by millions of Americans for years. Now, researchers warn that the drug has shown some concerning impacts to muscle mass and strength in mice.
New findings suggest muscle mass is altered less than expected while taking the diabetes drug, but that muscles may still get weaker over time. Ozempic-induced weight loss decreased lean mass — or muscle mass without fat — by around 10 percent, the University of Utah Health team said.
