Do weight loss injections make you lose muscle?

I'm planning to start weight loss injections, but a friend told me they can make you lose muscle mass along with fat. Is it true that weight loss injections might cause muscle loss? I'm also trying to build strength.

Yes, when you lose weight very fast with these injections, you can lose muscle along with fat. It's very important to eat enough protein to prevent this.

Haan na, if you don't do any strength exercises, muscle loss happens very easily with these injections. You have to be very careful about your diet.

You definitely lose muscle if you just rely on the injection and stop eating properly. To avoid this, make sure you hit your daily protein goals and do basic bodyweight exercises.

I can only share my own experience, but I noticed a drop in my strength levels after using them. I had to focus more on lifting light weights to rebuild my muscle.
