Based on recent studies, it has been observed that Ozempic (semaglutide) can lead to muscle loss, including heart muscle shrinkage, in animal models like mice and in human cell studies. The functional impact on the heart muscle in living humans remains uncertain, and further research is needed to determine the exact effects.
