Weight loss injectables are popular, and that's for good reason. Ozempic, Mounjaro, and Wegovy have garnered attention for their promising results. These drugs, like Wegovy or Ozempic, were initially designed to treat type 2 diabetes—Stephanie Parris turned to Mounjaro after trying various diets and exercises postpartum. The injections helped her shed 25 pounds in six months, significantly improving her quality of life and confidence. But the success did not come without complications.
Many point toward potential drawbacks of these injectable weight loss solutions. Many experts say injectable weight-loss drugs are not a long-term solution but a way to start losing weight, and many users gain weight after discontinuing the medication.
