(Undated) – Popular weight loss drugs like Ozempic and Zepbound are also helping folks with sleep apnea. Researchers reported at a meeting of the American College of Chest Physicians that those with Type 2 diabetes taking the drugs were less likely to die within the following year but patients in a study with sleep apnea did even better. Researchers looked at data on more than one and a half million patients with type 2 diabetes and over a quarter of them were prescribed weight loss drugs.
The FDA last year approved Zepbound as the first drug to treat sleep apnea in adults with obesity.
