Welcome to Ozempic Weightloss Unlocked. Today we dive into the latest headlines, research, controversies, and the practical realities of Ozempic, a medication originally crafted for type two diabetes that has rocketed into the spotlight for its weight-loss effects.
Ozempic, with the active ingredient semaglutide, was approved in the United States in December 2017 to help manage blood sugar in people living with type two diabetes. However, it soon became widely prescribed off-label for weight loss, a trend that only accelerated after the higher-dose version, branded as Wegovy, received federal approval in 2021. According to the Lawsuit Information Center, Ozempic works by mimicking a hormone called glucagon-like peptide 1, helping regulate blood sugar and appetite. Many people using it experience reduced appetite and significant weight reduction.
While its popularity continues to grow, so does scientific understanding. A 2025 study presented at the European Society of Cardiology conference revealed that Swiss patients with type two diabetes using oral semaglutide experienced clinically significant drops in both blood sugar and body weight. GlobalData reports that no new safety risks were identified in that trial, supporting ongoing confidence among healthcare professionals.
But for those interested only in weight loss, it is not all smooth sailing. Ozempic carries a range of potential side effects. According to King Law, hundreds of lawsuits have been filed in the last year, with plaintiffs claiming they suffered severe complications such as gastroparesis, intestinal blockages, blood clots, and even hair loss. A study published this August found that women on Ozempic experienced twice the rate of hair loss as women who were not taking the drug, while men saw their risk climb by more than half.
The United States Food and Drug Administration updated Ozempic's packaging earlier this year to warn about the risk of pancreatitis and severe kidney injuries, including potentially fatal outcomes linked to dehydration from vomiting and diarrhea. The label changes were driven by new clinical trial data and reinforce the importance of medical supervision when using these drugs.
Shortages, once a common concern, have eased. The Food and Drug Administration officially took Ozempic off the drug shortage list in February after Novo Nordisk provided reassurance about inventory and supply. That move, however, sparked legal challenges from compounders competing in the market.
Unfortunately, enthusiasm for rapid weight loss has also created a black market for Ozempic and similar drugs. The Food and Drug Administration cautions against using compounded or counterfeit versions, which have not undergone review for safety or effectiveness. Some of these unregulated products might be contaminated, mislabeled, or dangerously dosed. Always fill your prescriptions through a licensed pharmacy.
For listeners interested in alternatives, exciting research is underway. Purdue University food scientists are investigating foods and supplements that naturally stimulate GLP-1, the hormone Ozempic is designed to mimic. While these approaches will not produce the dramatic weight loss seen with medication, they may help those seeking more natural solutions—especially if someone discontinues their prescription and needs help maintaining a healthy weight.
So, where does Ozempic stand today? We have a medication achieving strong results for blood sugar control and weight loss, but one that comes with a profile of side effects still being researched, legal actions underscoring patient concerns, and increased focus on responsible, safe prescribing.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
