ST. PAUL, Minn., April 7 (UPI) -- Emergency room visits attributed to popular weight loss drugs such as Ozempic and Wegovy remain quite rare overall, but do show an unexpected link to hypoglycemia, according to a study released Monday. Semaglutide brand names include Ozempic, Rybelus, and Wegovy, all made by Novo Nordisk, and Mounjaro from Eli Lilly. The study, led by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Cambridge Health Alliance, was published in the Annals of Internal Medicine.
