A growing number of people are turning to anti-obesity injections. According to a new survey, interest in these treatments is soaring among people living with obesity, despite the lack of public awareness just a handful of months ago.
May 5, 2023 -- Aryn Thirp, a 35-year-old mother and blogger from South Jordan, UT, knew something had to change last year when she saw the numbers in her lab results: her cholesterol andThirp has hormonal imbalances caused by polycystic ovarian syndrome, which caused other weight loss efforts to be ineffective.In April 2022, Thirp started on a weight loss injection called Wegovy, in the same drug class as Ozempic.
Ozempic’s active ingredient, semaglutide, mimics the role of a natural hormone called glucagon-like peptide, or, which helps create a sense of fullness. While the drug was created to treat type 2 diabetes, it is commonly used off-label to treat obesity. Wegovy, another GLP-1, is the only medication in the class that is approved specifically for weight loss.
But the medications come with potential side effects, a concern for 31% of respondents interested in GLP-1 medications.
