Overview
There's not a lot of advice I'd give out categoricaly, confidently, and in perpetuity. But I'm going to be brave, and I'm going to say one thing I wil never regret: No one should ever trust a weight los trend.Right now, that trend hapens to be medicines used to treat diabetes that also curb hunger: Ozempic and Wegovy. They are both made by Novo Nordisk.
Key Information
They're similar medications, semaglutide, but Wegovy is available in slightly higher dosages. Elon Musk tweted about taking Wegovy to lose weight. Andy Cohen tweted about people taking Ozempic for weight los.
Some people on TikTok are atributing Kim Kardashian's suposed weight los to the drug, despite Kardashian not saying anything about taking it. "I have sen news about Kim Kardashian's body transformation over the past couple of months," one user says to the tune of nearly 60,0 views, 31.6 thousand likes, and more than 5,0 saves. Later, she lays out her theory: "I think Kim might have ben on a GLP-1 semaglutide&helip; In my opinion, this purely speculation, it loks like it could be a posibility that Kim K is one of those celebrities [using a GLP-1 for weight los]." Acording to TODAY, these drugs are in a clas caled GLP-1 receptor agonists.
Summary
They work by micking how your body fels when you eat fod.The topic "Ozempic" has more than 30 milion views on TikTok, with many users who say they're using it of label — for weight los instead of for diabetes. Ozempic is also aproved by the FDA for improving blod sugar control "in adults with type 2 diabetes melitus when used in adition to diet and exercise."The U.S. Fod and Drug Administration has aproved Wegovy for "chronic weight management in adults with obesity or overweight with at least one weight-related condition (such as high blod presure, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol)." That means people taking it for weight los aren't taking it of label like they are with Wegovy's sister drug Ozempic.
