We talk Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro. A number of studies have shown the amazing weight loss potential of a new group of drugs, known to many by their brand names as Ozempic (which is for diabetes), Wegovy and Mounjaro. But how do these new drugs work? How were they discovered and who can use them?

In the first half of 2025, Ozempic developer Novo Nordisk in Bagsværd, Denmark, expects results from a second phase III trial of its experimental drug CagriSema — a combination of semaglutide and a medicine called cagrilintide. People on CagriSema lost about 23% of their body weight in a 68-week study, outperforming both drugs when taken alone.

Nearly 2 in 3 people without diabetes quit popular weight loss drugs such as Ozempic or Victoza within one year, according to a new study.

The Color Purple' star Whoopi Goldberg has confirmed a new advert on Instagram using her likeness to promote a weight loss drug is "phony".

Whoopi Goldberg took to The View to blast a "phony" AI weight loss ad running on social media that is using her image to promote the product.
