I wouldn't touch Ozempic with a ten foot pole.. Seems like they're killing themselves to try to lose weight. Everyone walking around looking dead like a zombie..

Researchers still don't understand Ozempic's mechanism of action.  They thought it just affected the digestive system but there are receptors in the brain that it also messes with.  The suspicion is that the current doses are too large and may cause the muscles that keep your food moving through the system to stop working well.  

If you need to lose weight in a hurry and diet isn't working, phentermine has been on the market for decades and is well understood and safe when used correctly.  

We still don't know how to use ozempic correctly.
