Headlines are buzzing with the excitement that the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will soon designate Mounjaro to join Wegovy and Ozempic as the latest diabetes medication approved as weight loss drugs.
Wegovy and Ozempic can now also be prescribed for patients suffering from obesity under the discretion of a medical professional, and there have been reports of more patients requesting to be put on these drugs, despite not suffering from diabetes or being obese.
Despite the existence of such weight loss programmes, globally, the health of many continues to decrease as their body fat continues to increase. They were first approved by the FDA in 2005 to treat Type-2 diabetes. They work by lowering blood sugar levels and increasing satiety — that feeling of fullness — to prevent overeating.
Most notably, the majority of patients who stop taking these drugs gain the weight back — repeating the frustrating cycle that so many people experience.
