Ozempic, Wegovy, and other treatments for obesity, have been revolutionaries in the treatment of chronic obesity (and for diabetes), although scientists warn about their misuse.

Dr. Svetlana Mojsov, one of the scientists who helped develop these drugs, clarifies that these medications are not "miraculous" nor should they be used for aesthetic purposes.

Its true purpose is to combat obesity and type 2 diabetes, serious diseases that affect millions of people.

While these medications help weight loss, they have important side effects, such as gastrointestinal discomfort.

It is very important that they are prescribed only under medical supervision and are not used just to lose some "more kilos."

In addition, Mojsov emphasizes that obesity is not simply a matter of willpower, but is a metabolic disease.

The proper use of these drugs can improve the quality of life of many people, but they must be used responsibly.

If you have any questions or you are considering these treatments, it is best to talk to your doctor and receive personalized guidance.Let's take care of our health with information and responsibility!

What do you think that these medications are used for purely aesthetic purposes?

If a relative or friend told you that he is using them without having diabetes ... What would you say?
