Systematic Review Finds GLP-1 Agonists Do Not Harm Male Fertility, May Offer Benefits

Miriam E. Tucker
Summary
A systematic review presented at a medical conference found that GLP-1 agonists (like Ozempic, Wegovy) do not harm male fertility or the male reproductive axis. The review, which analyzed three randomized controlled trials, found no negative long-term effects on the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis and some evidence suggesting potential fertility benefits. Study author Dr. Pratibha Natesh noted the data is still sparse but sufficient to counsel patients that these drugs don't negatively impact the reproductive system.
