The risks of taking Ozempic that are only now emerging and make me worry - even though it CAN be a weight loss fix, by DR EMILY LEEMING
Daily MailShould you, would you, take Ozempic? Ozempic has been touted as a new, miracle weight-loss fix that can help those who have battled to shed pounds for years successfully lose weight with a single weekly injection. Other GLP-1 agonists that work like semaglutide have suggested that they can significantly alter the gut microbiome, reducing microbial diversity For most people, this leads to significant weight loss – and here is my first 'but', as even this 'miracle' fix won't work for everyone. Impressive figures, yes, but while the study showed 77 per cent of participants lost at least 5 per cent of their original weight, 23 per cent didn't achieve this crucial 5 per cent weight loss. It isn't for thin people looking to shed a few pounds' Ozempic has been touted as a new, miracle weight-loss fix that can help those who have battled to shed pounds for years successfully lose weight with a single weekly injection Specifically on semaglutide, earlier this year a study in mice published in the journal Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, suggested the opposite, that the drug increased levels of certain 'good' gut bacteria and supported the health of the gut barrier lining.
