> I have noticed some slight muscle loss in my non-dominant arm that is of mild concern but nothing that I am worried about at this time.

Muscle loss large enough to be noticeable is concerning, and muscle loss is one of the side effects of these medications that has me most concerned. How did you notice that your off-arm is weaker?



I haven't measured in a while and I don't feel "weak" per se, but I did notice in the mirror that my left bicep seems to be smaller than I remembered (and that's an area that I don't really have any fat buildup which might just be disappearing due to weight or water loss). I also haven't been doing any workouts (intentionally, just to see what happens on GLP-1 meds) but I suspect just some simple workouts would help. For me right now, after ~4mo it's not enough to concern me more than just "ah, guess I should find the weights some time" but I am keeping an eye on it. Otherwise I haven't noticed anything else so it may not be related or might just be me being paranoid
