Semaglutide’s Surprising Lung Benefits | Salt Lake City News

from Salt Lake City News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

New research reveals semaglutide—behind Ozempic and Wegovy—may slash asthma attacks by 40% and cut COPD flare-ups by 20%, according to a European study analyzing UK health records. While anti-inflammatory effects may explain the lung benefits, experts warn more trials are needed before self-medication. Beyond respiratory health, emerging data links these drugs to lower psychiatric hospitalizations, reduced bone fractures, and fewer cardiovascular events—but caution remains over rare eye stroke risks, especially with Wegovy.
