Semaglutide medications like Ozempic and Wegovy have exploded in popularity in recent years due to their effectiveness in diabetes control and weight loss.
Research has revealed additional benefits beyond those primary uses — but some negative side effects have also emerged.
While gastrointestinal issues are the most common side effects, a recent study by the University of British Columbia linked GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) agonists — the class of drugs that includes semaglutides — to an increased risk of hair loss.

Experts are speaking out about the potential dangers attached to carbon monoxide, as authorities continue to probe the death of teen Miller Gardner, son of former New York Yankees player Brett Gardner.
While the cause of Miller Gardner's death remains unconfirmed, Costa Rican Judicial Investigative Agency (OIJ) General Director Randall Zúñiga told reporters at a press conference on Monday that high levels of carbon monoxide contamination were found in the Gardner family's hotel room, and that it might have caused the teen's death.

Previous research has shown that vitamin D deficiency can increase the risk of multiple sclerosis (MS) — and a new study suggests that supplementing it in high doses could help reduce symptoms.
The study included 303 adults in France who had experienced clinically isolated syndrome (CIS) — which is a single, initial period of neurological symptoms that could lead to MS — within the last 90 days.
One group of participants took high doses (100,000 IU) of cholecalciferol (vitamin D3) every two weeks for 24 months.
