Losing weight can support better heart health, but now doctors are warning of their possible impacts on your heart. Ozempic, Wegovy and other weight loss medications can help your heart stay healthy by reducing your risk of heart disease caused by obesity,

Now, one type of weight-loss medication is proving helpful with another health issue. In a study published Feb. 12 in JAMA Psychiatry, researchers report that semaglutide, better known as Ozempic or Wegovy, helped people with alcohol addiction reduce their craving and drink less.

Anne-Marie Zanzal, 60, and her wife Tonda McKay, 62, have also experienced the more positive changes that weight-loss drugs can have on romantic relationships. They say they had reached the "fat and happy stage of life" but realized being overweight was affecting their energy levels.

Obesity is an epidemic in the United States, but more people are shedding pounds with the help of weight loss drugs.

Health experts are investigating a possible link between popular weight loss drugs like Ozempic and sudden blindness.

Although reports of vision problems with weight loss drugs are still rare, researchers say there is cause for concern because of how widespread the medications are becoming. A 2024 study found that 12 percent of the U.S. has taken one of these drugs and 6 percent are currently taking them.

Ozempic may help reduce alcohol cravings, according to a new study. But you shouldn't use them to help curb drinking habits just yet.

Millions of Americans use GLP-1 injections like Ozempic to lose weight. A study is questioning whether they can cause vision loss.
