glp-1 and vertigo meds like semaglutide (Ozempic/Wegovy) tirzepatide (Mounjaro/Zepbound) have been game-changers for diabetes and weight loss — but a new study found they may also slightly increase the risk of developing vestibular The Risk of Vestibular Disorders

What GLP-1 drugs actually do GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) medications work by mimicking natural hormone signals in your body

Why Semaglutide Causes Side Effects: The Mechanism Behind Discomfort Semaglutide activates GLP-1 receptors throughout your gastrointestinal tract and brain, triggering three primary effects: delayed gastric emptying, reduced appetite signaling, and slowed intestinal motility

found no significant changes in whole-body or lumbar bone density

(New England Journal of Medicine) Why it sits in a different bucket than GLP-1 peptides GLP-1 peptides are generally appetite/satiety signalling first. Tesamorelin is more hormonal axis + fat distribution (VAT) first.
