**The listing of a company (e.g., Novo Nordisk, Eli Lilly) or product (e.g., Ozempic, Mounjaro, Wegovy, Rybelsus, Trulicity, Saxenda or Zepbound) is not meant to state or imply that the company acted illegally or improperly or that the product is unsafe or defective
Does Ozempic Affect Fertility
A standard household freezer typically reaches -18 to -20C, which meets the minimum threshold for lyophilized powder storage
The active ingredient in Wegovy, semaglutide, works by activating a receptor in the pancreas (GLP-1)
When leg muscle mass declines, as can happen on GLP-1 therapy without adequate protein or exercise, insulin sensitivity can paradoxically worsen even as body weight falls
Semaglutide can cause dehydration and shifts in electrolyte balance due to its potential gastrointestinal effects (like vomiting or diarrhea)
