Weight-Loss Drugs Show Major Health Benefits but Carry Risks. A major study involving two million people has unveiled surprising effects of weight-loss drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy. While originally designed to treat type 2 diabetes, these medications have been linked to improved heart health, fewer infections, a lower risk of drug abuse, and even a 12% drop in Alzheimer’s cases. They’ve also shown benefits for liver cancer, kidney disease, and mental health conditions like schizophrenia and seizures. However, risks remain. Users were more likely to experience digestive issues such as stomach pain, inflammation, and haemorrhoids. The study, led by Dr. Ziyad al-Aly of Washington University, highlights both the promise and the potential dangers of these drugs, emphasizing the need for cautious interpretation as research evolves.
