Alexis Nicholson+FollowWHO Flips Script on Weight Loss MedsBig news: the World Health Organization is now backing weight-loss drugs like Wegovy and Zepbound for treating obesity in adults. This is a total 180 from their previous stance! The goal? Make these meds more accessible, especially in lower-income countries where obesity rates are sky-high. The catch: these drugs are pricey (think $1,000/month) and might need to be taken for life. But cheaper generics could be coming soon. Official guidelines drop in August—stay tuned! #WHO #WeightLoss #Obesity #HealthNews #Wegovy #Zepbound #Health272Share

As these weight-loss meds get more popular, so do the side effects—especially if people don’t follow dosing instructions.

Ryan Stewart+FollowFDA Cuts Off Cheaper Weight-Loss Meds?!Major drama for anyone using affordable weight-loss meds: the FDA is shutting down the sale of cheaper alternatives to Wegovy and Ozempic now that the ingredient shortage is over.
