Doctor warns against using Ozempic for weight loss | CUOMO

Ozempic is a drug intended to treat Type 2 diabetes, but it’s increasingly being used by people without diabetes as a weight loss treatment. Dr. Mark Hyman, host of the podcast “The Doctor’s Farmacy” and senior adviser for the Cleveland Clinic Center for Functional Medicine, warns people against using the drug to shed pounds. The drug has to be taken forever to keep weight off, and it could lead to serious side effects. Instead, Hyman suggests cutting out ultra-processed foods.

All the drugs isn't going fix obesity if you don't fix the behavior.

[joeyq]

He’s 100% right. Diet and exercise is MUCH healthier.

I’m a Type 2 diabetic for whom this was prescribed. My weight was not an issue. I stopped using it because I was experiencing all the symptoms of pancreatitis. Now I’m concerned that it may have done permanent damage to my pancreas.

I take it for type 2 diabetes, i only have had mild nausea with it throughout the week. I have been on it since March 2022. My blood sugars lowered and i lost 20 pounds as well.
It appreciate being able to take this medicine and hope it is available for the right people. Thank you Chris, it is great to watch you here.🤗🇨🇦

Dr H we love you I can’t even think how bad this is gonna be long term

[makutamon]

The warning is good, but I’m worried that the warning will be too little too late.

I have thyroid cancer and an Endo suggested this drug who also denies I'm hypothyroid. BTW I never eat more than 4 carbs per meal and track blood sugar like an engineer. A functional MD identified I'm hypo though... conventional medicine is deadly...

And BTW Chris, speaking of lawsuits, there should be the largest class action suit in history against the American Diabetes Association and all their contracted educators promoting high carb diets. Did you know the ADA recommendations for carbs to a person with diabetes is the same as the FDA recommends to a person w/ out diabetes? The executives at the ADA should be in prison.

And our health officials act like they care about public health all the sudden? CV had nothing over the millions of preventable diabetic deaths yearly.

I distrust any prescription drug that has it's on commercial jingle.

Imagine how much we can save on fast food and medical expenses caused by obesity? The argument that it's too expensive to give to everyone makes no sense. And the price will come down when it's not patented anymore.

[debrafirestone]

I would never take that drug I’m not a diabetic

[hedgiegal]

Ozempic made me so sick I had to stop taking it after two months. Daily SEVERE nausea, stomach pain, it just wasn't worth it.

Ozempic dangers

I'm laying here in bed because I took Ozempic (Semaglutide) for 3 months and almost died. This drug caused me constant bloating which made me feel full, but sick when I did force myself to eat. By the 3rd month the damage was done. My liver developed advanced cirrhosis which led to bleeding in my stomach and upper GI tract. I lost so much blood that my hemoglobin went down to 9 and I needed 2 units of blood at the ER. I had then scheduled a upper GI Endoscopy for 3 weeks later. But on the second week just before my appointment my hemoglobin went down to 5.1 and I became delirious and unconscious. My friends hadn't heard from me and broke into my house and quickly called me an ambulance. I was rushed to a nearby ER for 2 pints of blood they squeezed into me to stabilize me and then taken by helicopter to a major hospital where they had to squeeze 2 more pints of blood into me. They found fluids in my chest (dead blood cells) that has to be drained and performed the Upper GI Endoscopy where they had to band the bleeders. I had received 3 more units of blood just to bring me back up to a hemoglobin of 9. I was discharged a week later. My organs are damaged now and I have been seeing doctors 3 or more times a week. I may need a liver transplant now from biliary cirrhosis. I did have a prior fatty liver, but I hadn't had drink in over 8 years. There is a October 2022 published report from Indiana University School of Medicine of someone else my age (male 50's) that required a liver and kidney transplant after using Semaglutide for 6 months. The report found no other explanation for his diagnosis. My hemoglobin counts are slowly improving, but I am unable to leave my bed for more than a few minutes due to all the complications caused my body.

[michelleenzinger]

my husband couldnt get his ozempic for his diabetes.

[jagodah]

why is so expensive?
they produce ozempic from gold?

[jaykraft]

Doctor assumes prices will stay high forever, and you need to take the drug forever. Both assumptions sketchy.

[geneziogenezio]
