Episode description

A major new study finds popular diabetes and weight loss drugs Ozempic and Wegovy, which contain the ingredient semaglutide, actually carry a lower risk of suicidal thoughts compared to other medications used to treat obesity and type 2 diabetes. However, the FDA is still investigating potential mental health side effects, so more long-term data is needed.
