If you're concerned with muscle loss while using Ozempic, be sure to talk with your (semaglutide) belongs to a class of medications known as glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 agonists). Ozempic is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in people with type 2 diabetes with certain can cause a loss of appetite, which can cause you to lose weight. This includes fat loss, muscle loss, and possibly bone density. Keep reading to learn strategies to help preserve muscle and maintain bone health while using Ozempic is not approved by the FDA for weight loss or weight management. However, some doctors may prescribe the drug off-label for this use. With off-label use, doctors prescribe a drug for a use other than an FDA-approved use. The drug Wegovy contains the same active ingredient as Ozempic, semaglutide, but it comes in higher strengths, and it's approved for weight loss or weight management in certain effects of rapid weight lossThere are concerns about Ozempic's effects on muscle mass and strength. Clinical trials have not specifically linked Ozempic to direct muscle loss. However, some individuals may have a lower appetite, leading to weight loss, which can include loss of both fat and one clinical trial, 86.4% of people taking semaglutide lost 5% or more of their body weight, while 69.1% of people taking the drug lost 10% or have shown that GLP-1 drugs can reduce lean mass, but the results are mixed. (Lean mass can refer to muscle mass, organ size, bone mass, fluids, and water in fat tissue.) For example, semaglutide has been linked to a 40% reduction in lean mass, while liraglutide has been linked to a reduction of up to 60%. (Liraglutide is the active ingredient in the GLP-1 drug Victoza.) Another study comparing semaglutide and tirzepatide with placebo (a drug with no active ingredient) showed a 15% or less decrease in lean mass across all groups. (Tirzepatide is the active ingredient in the GLP-1 drug Zepbound.)Rapid weight loss associated with GLP-1 medications may also affect bone density. A small study showed that people using Victoza had lower bone mineral density in the hip and spine compared to people taking a placebo.

US FDA declines to approve Regeneron's blood cancer therapy for second time
Aug 1 (Reuters) - Regeneron (REGN.O), opens new tab said on Friday the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has once again declined to approve its blood cancer therapy, this time in relation to observations from the regulator's inspection at a third-party manufacturing site. The company was seeking approval for its drug odronextamab to treat follicular lymphoma — a type of cancer that begins in the lymph system, a part of the immune system — in patients whose cancer has returned and who have received at least two prior lines of treatment. The regulator had first declined to approve the therapy in March last year, seeking more data from enrollments in dose-finding and confirmatory portions of trials testing it. Regeneron said on Friday the latest FDA decision was due to its inspection at contract manufacturer Catalent's Indiana site, which was acquired by Danish drugmaker Novo Nordisk ( opens new tab. Catalent's Bloomington, Indiana facility is a fill-finish site for Regeneron's Eylea HD and odronextamab, and handles the final stages of drug preparation and packaging. The observations at the inspection have also resulted in delays to three applications for the high-dose version of its eye disease drug Eylea, Regeneron said, adding that Novo has been in communication with the FDA and expects to submit its response next week. There is clear frustration and exhaustion with the repeated regulatory setbacks, said Cantor analyst Carter Gould. Regeneron said the inspection was completed in mid-July and it anticipates an expeditious resolution of the issues. Odronextamab belongs to a class of treatments called bispecific antibodies, which are designed to attach to a cancer cell and an immune cell bringing them together so that the body's immune system can kill the cancer. The drug was approved by the European Commission in August 2024 to treat follicular lymphoma, and is branded as Ordspono in the region.
