GLP-1 has become the newest craze created for one purpose but sweeping the nation for another. It is going down the same path Viagra did.
When it was discovered that Viagra was not only aiding in the heart function for men, but it was also aiding in men being able to get and sustain an erection the focus of the medication changed rapidly. Soon all the focus on Viagra switched from the heart to the penis. Many everyday people are not aware it was originally designed for high blood pressure and angina to help prevent heart attacks in men.
Now the same is happening with Ozempic and similar drugs. Originally created to treat type 2 diabetes by lowering blood sugar levels because it stimulates the pancreas to produce more insulin. Now the focus of these drugs has become known for weight loss.
When consumers discover a medication that provides something they have been longing for and discover the insurance will pay for it, common sense may jump right out of their brain. They forget to focus on the side effects and whether it is worth the risk. They forget to do the research to find out if there is a natural healthier way to accomplish the same goal. Especially because the money has to come out of their pocket, it would not be covered by insurance.
Be careful RISKING YOUR OVERALL HEALTH can cost you a lot more in the end than the money you saved.
