It’s been revealed that there is a major warning that comes from specialists about a diabetes drug that is used for weight loss these days. Check out the latest reports about it below.

Ozempic warning 

Fox News writes that there are a few doctors who are warning against using a drug intended to treat Type 2 diabetes for weight loss after some patients said it helped them shed a few pounds. 

The drug was approved by the FDA in 2017. This is a diabetes treatment that is sold under the name Ozempic and it helps lower blood sugar.

A lot of patients who took the medication reported weight loss as a positive side effect, according to Fox 35 Orlando. This led to a terrible effect – people without diabetes became interested in using the medication for weight loss. This comes after news of its perceived benefits made the rounds on social media platform TikTok.

Decreasing your appetite 

“You definitely decrease your appetite, and you feel full pretty much all the time, and you don’t really crave sugar because you don’t get the sugar high or sugar low,” Sports Orthopedic Surgeon Dr. Richard Lehman told Fox 35.

The FDA’s findings have led people wanting a quick way to drop a few pounds to find doctors willing to prescribe the drug “off label,” which means to use for a condition other than for which it has been approved.

“It’s as close to the magic weight loss as we have right now,” Lehman said. He also prescribed the drug to his athletes to help them drop a few pounds.

“These athletes, in 7 to 10 days, started to lose weight. You can’t just eat as much as you want and not exercise. You have to follow the regimen.” Make sure to check out the original article posted by Fox News in order to learn more details.
