Zepbound Approved for Sleep Apnea
from Ottawa News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
Health Canada just approved Zepbound — the first and only GLP-1 drug in Canada — for treating obstructive sleep apnea in obese adults, offering a groundbreaking new option for those whose breathing repeatedly stops during sleep due to blocked airways. This weight-loss medication, tirzepatide, works by curbing appetite and promoting weight loss, which can dramatically improve sleep apnea symptoms. While it’s not a substitute for CPAP machines, clinical trials show it significantly reduces breathing interruptions — even without CPAP use — potentially transforming care for millions struggling with this dangerous condition.
