Whoever takes Ozempic is basically a lab rat at this stage. No short term issues have been observed but we don't know the long term effects.

    All medication has the possibility of side effects.

    In the 20 years GLP-1 medication has been used by type-2 diabetes patients (because that's who they were really for), there have been more positives than negatives. Simple as that. There are side effects but those are better than the well-documented side effects of type-2 (e.g. cardiovascular disease, kidneys, eyes and feet, including the possibility of amputation. And that's before we get into the social stigma of being morbidly obese, the mental health issues associated with that and the social isolation that often comes with it).bb
