FDA approves Novo Nordisk's Ozempic to treat chronic kidney disease in those with diabetes, expanding its use Expanded Ozempic approval in the U.S. could transform how doctors treat patients with chronic kidney disease, which involves a gradual loss of kidney function.

BREAKING NEWS: The FDA has approved Ozempic for patients with chronic kidney disease. This means the popular injection can be used to reduce the risk of kidney disease worsening, kidney failure and death from cardiovascular disease in patients with chronic kidney disease and diabetes.
