- Weight-loss jabs such as Wegovy and Ozempic have become a popular trend among middle-aged women for vanity rather than serious health issues.
- Despite guidelines recommending these jabs for those with a BMI of at least 30 and weight-related health conditions, many women are obtaining them through various means.
- Experimenting with these jabs can lead to severe side effects such as nausea, vomiting, depression, and loss of appetite, especially when taken inappropriately.
- Women who misuse these drugs risk serious harm, as they suppress pleasure sensors which can lead to a loss of interest in everything and potentially cause harm to those with specific health conditions.
- The popularity of weight-loss jabs among those who do not medically need them is concerning, as it can lead to serious adverse reactions and even deaths, with over 7,200 serious adverse reactions reported in the UK since 2019.
