The Controversy Surrounding Ozempic: From Weight Loss to Anti-Addiction Drug
TL;DR Summary
Ozempic, a medication used to treat type 2 diabetes, is being increasingly used as a "quick fix" for weight loss, leading to a side effect colloquially termed "Ozempic face," which refers to sagging, ageing, and lacklustre appearance of facial skin and structures due to rapid weight loss. Taking weight loss drugs recreationally can cause changes in intestinal health, pancreatic inflammation, and hypoglycaemia. Novo Nordisk, the company that manufactures Ozempic, warns against taking the drug without medical guidance.
