PARIS – The diabetes drug Ozempic has become a social media phenomenon for its weight loss properties, butand doctors warn about the potential side effects.
The drug’s active ingredient, semaglutide, binds itself to the receptors of a hormone which controls blood sugar, stimulating the release of insulin when glucose levels are high.In early 2021, peer-reviewed research found that almost three-quarters of people who used the drug lost more than 10 per cent of their body weight.
Diabetes UK head of care Douglas Twenefour said on the charity’s website that Ozempic “is not a medication for people who do not have diabetes or are at risk of type 2 diabetes”.There has not been a particularly “sudden increase in consumption in recent months”, the ANSM said, adding that there had been “supply tensions” worldwide.
