Takeaways
A medical examination is necessary before starting weight loss drugs to identify contraindications and ensure patient safety.
Ozempic and similar drugs work by decreasing appetite, increasing insulin production, and causing early satiety.
These drugs have been successful in helping patients lose weight, improve insulin resistance, lower blood sugar, and reduce cravings for alcohol and unhealthy foods.
It is important to obtain these drugs from authorized sources, as counterfeit and unregulated products can be dangerous.
Proper monitoring and follow-up with a qualified healthcare provider are essential to manage side effects and ensure the effectiveness of the treatment.
