## Resource

New weight loss drug apitegromab could help preserve muscle while you shed pounds—potentially solving the “Ozempic butt” problem. In early trials, users lost nearly half as much muscle compared to those on standard weight loss meds. Though still in clinical testing and administered via IV, researchers hope it’ll become a self-injectable option like GLP-1 drugs. Experts still recommend high-protein diets and strength training to protect muscle, even as this promising new treatment emerges.
