Diabetes drug Ozempic could slow down ageing and offer 'far-reaching benefits' beyond what was imagined, researchers have suggested.
A weight-loss injection could slow ageing and offer benefits far beyond what was imagined, researchers have suggested. Semaglutide, which is available under brand names Wegovy and Ozempic, cuts the risk of death in overweight people with cardiovascular disease, according to several studies. While Wegovy is available through the NHS for weight loss if certain criteria are met, Ozempic is currently only prescribed for type 2 diabetes - though both contain semaglitude.
' Researchers found participants who took semaglutide died at a lower rate from all causes, as well from cardiovascular causes and COVID-19. The drug was also found to improve heart failure symptoms. Participants - all 17,604 of them - were aged 45 or older, overweight, had established cardiovascular disease but not diabetes and were tracked for more than three years.
