Kristi Key+FollowWeight Loss Meds & Your Eyes?!Just found out those popular weight loss drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy might come with a scary side effect—eye damage! A new study says people with Type 2 diabetes taking these meds have a higher risk of diabetic retinopathy, which can lead to blindness. If you or someone you know is on these, regular eye checkups are a must. Also, some wild new cancer and epilepsy treatments are in the works. Medical science is moving fast! #Health #BodyHealth #WeightLossDrugs164Share
Misty Brady+FollowGLP-1 Drug Insurance Shakeup!CVS Caremark just dropped a bomb: they’re cutting coverage for Zepbound, a popular GLP-1 weight loss drug, and only covering Wegovy instead. That means thousands who finally found a med that works might have to switch (and pay out of pocket if they don’t). Docs and patients are fuming—these meds aren’t one-size-fits-all, and insurance drama is messing with real health progress. Anyone else think this is wild? #Health #BodyHealth #WeightLossDrugs31Share
tuckerariel+FollowOzempic Babies: What’s Really Happening?Weight loss meds like Ozempic and Mounjaro are all over TikTok, but here’s the wild part: they might mess with your birth control! There’s a spike in surprise pregnancies (aka “Ozempic babies”) because these drugs can slow down how your body absorbs the pill, making it less effective. Plus, side effects like vomiting or diarrhea don’t help. If you’re on these meds and using oral contraceptives, doctors say double up with condoms for a month just to be safe! #OzempicBabies #BirthControl #WeightLossDrugs #Health #BodyHealth10Share
Jeffrey Miller+FollowOzempic & Eye Health: What’s the Deal?Weight loss meds like Ozempic might double the risk of serious eye damage (macular degeneration) in older diabetic patients, according to a huge Canadian study. The longer you’re on it, the higher the risk—especially if you’re older or have had a stroke. Docs say the benefits still outweigh the risks, but this is definitely something to keep an eye on (pun intended) if you or someone you know is taking these meds! #Ozempic #WeightLossDrugs #Diabetes #Health123Share
margaret39+FollowOzempic Users Sue Over Sudden Vision LossWeight-loss drugs like Ozempic are under fire as users claim they suddenly lost their sight after starting the meds. Over a dozen lawsuits say the drug caused rare, irreversible vision problems—some people even woke up blind in one or both eyes! The drugmaker says there’s no proven link, but patients are saying if they’d known the risk, they never would’ve taken it. Would you risk your vision for weight loss? #Ozempic #WeightLossDrugs #HealthNews #VisionLoss #Lawsuit #Health1910Share
Miranda Martin+FollowGLP-1 Drugs Are Changing How We ShopGLP-1 weight loss meds like Ozempic are totally shaking up the way we eat—and shop. People are spending way less on groceries, booze, and eating out, but suddenly there’s a run on vitamins, protein powders, and gut health stuff. The Vitamin Shoppe just launched a whole section for GLP-1 users, hoping to cash in on the trend (and maybe save their business). Even Smoothie King and Nestle are jumping in. Wild how one drug can flip the whole market! #WeightLossDrugs #GLP1 #VitaminShoppe #Ozempic #RetailTrends #Health00Share
margaret39+FollowWeight Loss Drugs: No Easy Exit?Weight loss drugs are everywhere, but Dr. David Kessler (yep, the former FDA boss) says there’s a catch: nobody knows how to safely stop taking them, and you’ll probably gain the weight back if you do. He tried them himself after gaining 50 lbs during the pandemic, but warns there’s no miracle fix—just a lifelong prescription and lots of unknowns. Real talk: these meds might help, but they’re not a magic solution. What’s the real end game here? #WeightLossDrugs #HealthJourney #NoQuickFix #GLP1 #Wellness #Health30Share
kingabigail+FollowOzempic Users Flooding ERs?Did you know nearly 25,000 Americans landed in the ER last year after taking Ozempic or Wegovy? Most cases were from nasty stomach issues, but some were even hospitalized for low blood sugar or allergic reactions. As these weight-loss meds get more popular, so do the side effects—especially if people don’t follow dosing instructions. Docs say better patient education could help, but wow, those numbers are wild! #Ozempic #Wegovy #WeightLossDrugs #HealthNews #ERVisits #Health445499Share
