What's the Root Cause? by Dr Vikki Petersen

Weight Loss Drugs - Healthy or Dangerous?


Listen Later

Ozempic, Wegovy - both are weight loss drugs who's active ingredient is semiglutide.
Fast weight loss has always been a bad idea and these drugs continue to prove the point.

Weight rebound is common, not to mention the risk of kidney failure, pancreatitis and gall bladder issues.

A recent study (remember these drugs are fairly new) showed that once people stopped the drug their rebound weight loss for 2/3 of what they had lost in the first year. Likely, as they are followed longer, the typical weight gain of more than they lost will be seen; we'll see as further studies occur.
It "sounds" great to lose weight fast, but the side effects are a very bad idea.
