In the age of social networks, where trends and challenges spread massively within seconds, TikTok has emerged as a powerful platform that influences millions of people around the world. Among the fun videos, there is a darker side that focuses on beauty standards, a side that is not at all friendly to under or overweight people. An Albanian girl, who preferred to remain anonymous, explains to Anabel that she tried to lose weight through a method that was trending on social networks and experienced a dangerous experience.
She confessed to our editors that she heard about Ozempic medication from her friends. They had read on social media that this drug – used for type 2 diabetes patients – helps them lose weight. Lured by the idea of ??a few kilos less, and as someone who had struggled with weight fluctuations for years, she decided to give it a go.
"I listened to my friends and was pushed to use it myself. To be honest, I didn't see any results because I stopped it as soon as I realized I was experiencing symptoms of depression. I was in a depressed state all the time and I didn't understand what was going on." - she said.
Since October last year, Ozempic and other drugs used by type 2 diabetes patients have been trending on TikTok due to the side effect of weight loss. Elon Musk has previously tweeted about Wegovy to lose weight. Andy Cohen tweeted about people taking Ozempic for weight loss. Some people on TikTok linked the alleged weight loss to Kim Kardashian, despite Kim not saying anything.
Ozempic is not technically a weight loss drug. But it is considered safe and effective for type 2 diabetes, and you may lose weight as a side effect of the treatment. If you take Ozempic and do not have diabetes, this is considered off-label and potentially dangerous use.
Efektet anësore më të zakonshme të Ozempic janë: kapsllëk, diarre, të vjella, të përziera, hipoglicemi, sëmundje të fshikëzës së tëmthit, reaksion alergjik etj.
Të përzierat dhe dhimbjet e vazhdueshme të barkut janë shumë shqetësuese. Stomaku dhe truri janë aq të lidhur sa problemet e zorrëve mund të shkaktojë stres, ankth dhe depresion. Këto simptoma mund t'i bëjnë njerëzit të ndihen të izoluar, të mbingarkuar dhe në gjendje depresive.
Efekte të tjera anësore serioze të Ozempic përfshijnë tumoret e tiroides, pankreatiti, ndryshimet në shikim, hipoglikemi, dështimi i veshkave dhe kancer.
Mungesa e ilaçeve të tilla ka filluar të bëhet një problem serioz për pacientët që kanë vërtet nevojë për to.
Pharmaceutical companies are warning people not to take medicines without consulting their doctors. Doctors have also been instructed not to give it to people who don't need it.
