  • Weight-loss jabs could reduce your risk of drug abuse, seizures and pneumonia, as well as heart attacks and strokes, scientists have found. Last year, research revealed that weight-loss jabs - or GLP-1RAs - such as Wegovy and Ozempic could reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke.

The article from MSN discusses a study that found weight loss drugs like Wegovy, Ozempic, and Mounjaro not only help with weight reduction but also significantly decrease the risk of several health issues. According to the research, these medications can lower the risk of seizures by 60%, reduce the likelihood of drug abuse by 50%, and decrease the incidence of heart attacks by 33%. The study, which analyzed data from over 100,000 patients, suggests that these drugs might work by reducing inflammation and improving metabolic health, thereby offering broader health benefits beyond just weight loss. However, the article also notes that these findings need further investigation to understand the full scope of benefits and potential side effects.
