A new study reveals that the active ingredient in drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy could lower the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease.

Semaglutide, the active ingredient in the diabetes and weight loss drugs Ozempic and Wegovy, could lower the risk for Alzheimer’s disease, a new study shows.

Semaglutide, the blood sugar control and weight loss drug, has another added benefit. A recent study, published in Alzheimer’s & Dementia, shows that it can reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s Disease in people with Type 2 diabetes.

According to a recent study, certain classes of weight loss drugs — including Ozempic — may have positive effects on the brain and patients with type 2 diabetes.

Semaglutide medications — such as Ozempic, the popular diabetes medication — have been linked to a reduced risk of Alzheimer’s disease for certain groups, a new study finds.

People with Type 2 diabetes taking semaglutide appeared to have a significantly lower risk of developing Alzheimer's compared to patients taking seven other diabetes drugs, researchers reported.

Patients taking Novo Nordisk A/S’s Ozempic were at significantly reduced risk of being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, according to new research that adds to the evidence surrounding the drug’s effects in diseases beyond type 2 diabetes and obesity.

Novo Nordisk’s blockbuster drug Ozempic (NVO) is linked to yet another health benefit. This time it’s lowering the risk of Alzheimer’s disease.

Ozempic and Wegovy, the two brand names under which the company sells the GLP-1 drug semaglutide, are already blockbusters.
