Well this is fascinating:
> This year, some female users, mostly of Ozempic, began sharing tales of unexpected pregnancies, with the hashtag #OzempicBabies trending on social media. Some had previously struggled to conceive; others were on contraception at the time (as the prescribing guidelines all clearly advise). While there no firm figures on how many people are affected, Novo Nordisk, the manufacturer of Ozempic and Wegovy, has opened a pregnancy registry to follow up babies in their first year of life.
It's clearly too early to figure out if this is a good or bad thing or even attributable to GLP1s but this is is quite the new side effect, if it pans out.
At the end of the day, GLP1 agonists might be some of the most plentiful available drugs (given the number of compounds that work, companies that make them, entry of various large firms[0]) -- if we can maintain these beneficial side effects without discovery of some huge harmful side effect...
Question of the effects on these drugs on fetuses is a huge one though.
