- According to the WHO, it is estimated that there are 1.9 billion overweight people in the world.
- In recent times it has been reported that celebrities such as Kim Kardashian and Elon Musk have taken a drug to lose weight in record time.
- The biggest problem is that the drug was created exclusively for the treatment of patients with type 2 diabetes.
In 1995, the World Health Organization (WHO) classified obesity as a disease. Since then it has become a global priority but the efforts have been insufficient. In the midst of this panorama now a medicine has stood out because it helps to lose weight… although in reality it was created against diabetes and should not be consumed on its own initiative.
Despite the strategies that have been adopted, the problem is increasingly larger. In 2018 alone, there were 1.9 billion overweight adults in the world and more than 650 million were obese.
On the other hand, the entertainment industry and show business are known for the importance of image. Actors and actresses are quite vain because they literally live off their bodies and what they manage to convey.
Annoyance in the medical union due to the wrong consumption of a drug
With this in mind, in recent years it has become apparent that some “celebrities” and even businessmen have used a weight loss drug. The most noticeable thing is that the change in your figure is achieved in a very short time. From Kim Kardashian to Elon Musk they have achieved a transformation in record time. But is this really positive or can it be counterproductive?
Dr. Dany de la Garza made a video about it. What she mentions is that the person responsible for this phenomenon is the drug marketed under the name of Ozampic. The detail is that it was originally created for the treatment of type 2 diabetes in adults.
Its main function is to improve the level of sugar in the blood, although it must always go hand in hand with a personalized diet and the practice of exercise.
It is characterized because it causes people to feel satisfied by consuming little food. It also generates a feeling of disgust when eating carbohydrates and fats. In this way they eat little and naturally manage to lose weight in just a couple of weeks.
Is there any medicine to lose weight in a short time?
But now comes the most important part. The consumption of this drug should only be with the prior recommendation of a health professional. In addition, the maximum indication is that it is only recommended for people with type 2 diabetes.

Dr. de la Garza emphasizes that It should never be consumed on its own initiative or follow the “example” of celebrities for all the side effects it causes.
In this sense, when a person does not consume it in adequate doses, it can generate tumors in the thyroid gland, seizures, stroke and even diabetes.
For all of the above, this weight loss medication is exclusively for patients with diabetes mellitus and should always be accompanied by a doctor. It should never be forgotten that self-medication in all its forms is always dangerous.
