Ozempic has slightly misled the issue of slimming with the promise that it can help in losing pounds and the result will be long-lasting in time. But this medicine has not become famous only for this reason. Now on TikTok it is being said that there are women who are getting pregnant from using it. "Ozempic babies" (bebet ozempic) is the newest term to explode online and the reports of it only increase every day.
But what do the experts say about this topic?
"Science has proven that weight loss can significantly increase ovulation in women with menstrual cycle disorder," says Karen Wheeler, a well-known endocrinologist.
"Women who lose weight with Ozmepic and previously had problems with ovulation may start to ovulate. If they are not using contraceptive methods, the chances are high that they will get pregnant when they are using the medicine", she explains.
According to Wheeler, weight loss not only increases the body's ability to ovulate spontaneously, but women with a low BMI (body mass index) will have an increased chance of getting pregnant if they are looking to use assisted reproduction methods. technology.
The second reason why women using Ozempic may be more likely to become pregnant is the fact that this medication may affect the effect of contraceptives.
Although there are no real studies to back up this idea, Wheeler points out that the fact that this drug induces vomiting makes it possible that even if I take oral contraceptives, the body doesn't have time to do its job. Also, the way this medication works, it puts the body in an unusual state by changing the way the stomach processes everything it puts into the body.
But why is it not recommended to get pregnant with this medication?
Doctors say there are not yet enough studies to support the safety of this drug to enter the list of those used to increase fertility. They are still unfamiliar with the side effects or other problems that this medication can cause.
We recall that Ozempic and other drugs used by patients with type 2 diabetes remain trending on TikTok due to the side effect of weight loss. 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.
The most common side effects of Ozempic are: constipation, diarrhea, vomiting, nausea, hypoglycemia, gall bladder disease, allergic reaction, etc.
Constant nausea and abdominal pain are very disturbing. The stomach and brain are so connected that gut problems can cause stress, anxiety and depression.
These symptoms can make people feel isolated, overwhelmed and depressed.
The shortage of such medicines from the online trend has started to become a serious problem for patients who really need them.
