Before going on Ozempic, read up on current medical research (not Facebook or such shit). They discovered some not-so-good long term effects recently.
Like many medications, you are balancing the risks of continuing with an unmedicated health problem or any negative side effects of the medication.
But with Ozempic there is some serious long-term shit going on, which is bad, as you basically have to take this stuff forever or bounce back hard faster than you saying "supersize this burger meal".
It hospitalized my ex for 12 days. The side effects are real. He's in a class action suit against the company.
Truth is that everyone is an individual and side effects will happen with any drug. He unfortunately, experienced a debilitating one but there are millions who do not experience that. So, it is true, he is unlucky but I have seen so many patients who decide to go ahead because they just don't believe they will be that small percentage to experience the bad ones.
It actually is more complex than that and the makers of Ozempic didn't disclose this side effect.
