From smelly flatulence to a fertility boost, VeeloBooster review Ozempic has been linked to a host of unusual side effects.
But men are reporting what might be the most embarrassing one yet - erectile dysfunction.
Reddit pages dedicated to Ozempic and other medications used for weight loss are peppered with accounts from men experiencing trouble performing in the bedroom believed to stem from low testosterone caused by the blockbuster drugs.
Safety pamphlets included with the drugs include a warning that sexual dysfunction could be a side effect, but the association has not been extensively studied.
A study earlier this year found the problem to be a side effect in about one in 75 men taking the drugs for weight loss experience, with many of them describing frustration and humiliation in the bedroom.
One study into the side effects of taking weight-loss drugs found about one in 75 men on them will experience erectile dysfunction and low testosterone
Many men looking to lose weight on the drugs have been surprised at their loss of ability to perform sexually and have turned to asking their fellows on Reddit for advice on how to beat the side effect, with one saying: 'I have been on Ozempic for 3 months. TT level dropped very fast and I am on treatment to fix it now.
'Has anyone had any experiences similar to this?'
Another man, 23, who has been on semaglutide, the active ingredient in Wegovy and Ozempic, for five weeks said he had never experienced ED before.
He said: 'I have recently begun seeing someone and have dealt with a complete loss in erection now.
'The first time worked out because I ended up getting and maintaining an erection after an hour of failed attempts.
'But the second time, I had an erection while we were about to get it on and then just like that, done.
'It's a little embarrassing having to troubleshoot this in front of a new partner.'
And another said: 'Taking [Ozempic] 1.5 weekly, had complete loss of erection. Dr prescribed Viagra did not work at all. Stopped [Ozempic] on my own, three weeks later working normally.'
Just a handful of studies have shown men taking the drugs were more likely to experience low testosterone, something that has baffled doctors because weight loss typically regulates T levels.
Dr Shauna Levy, an obesity specialist at Tulane University, told DailyMail.com that the side effect 'counterintuitive' because losing fat also leads to lower estrogen levels in men.
She added: 'I'm not denying it's happening, but the pathway isn't immediately revealing itself.'
