Weight loss drugs like Ozempic can also help people stop smoking
Drugs containing semaglutide, like Ozempic and Wegovy, are intended to help people with diabetes lower their blood glucose levels while also reducing the risk of cardiovascular events in patients suffering from various heart issues. However, the active ingredient has another notable side effect. Semaglutide can help people lose weight. That's the primary reason that these drugs have become so popular in recent years.
Now, a new study indicates that there might be even more benefits to semaglutide than initially believed. Drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy might help people quit smoking, which is the kind of behavioral change doctors will often recommend to patients, especially those who have diabetes and one or more heart conditions.
