One in six children on GLP-1 drugs develop deficiencies
Original: Study: One in six children on GLP-1 drugs developed nutritional deficiencies
A new study reports that about one in six children taking GLP-1 medications, such as Ozempic and Wegovy, developed nutritional deficiencies while on the drugs. The findings raise concerns that appetite suppression and reduced intake may leave some children short on key nutrients, prompting calls for closer monitoring of children prescribed these increasingly used weight-loss medications.
Why now: GLP-1 drug use in children is rising sharply, and evidence of nutritional side effects raises new safety questions for parents and doctors.
