>'Miracle' weight-loss drugs could lead to debilitating brittle bones and fractures, experts warnThe drugs – like Ozempic or Wegovy – can slash body weight by 20 per cent, but studies have found that they also have a long-term impact on bone density.Research presented to the American Society for Bone and Mineral Research raised significant concerns about the potential side-effects of these treatments.One of the studies – published in the medical journal JAMA – assessed 200 people using the drugs and found that they had reduced hip and spine bone mineral density when compared to a placebo or exercise alone.This means patients taking weight-loss injections could be at an increased risk of the bone-thinning disease osteoporosis.https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13978747/weight-loss-drugs-debilitating-brittle-bones.html
