Would you take a so called 'miracle' weight loss drug if you could?
A 'miracle' weight loss drug called Ozempic has set TikTok on fire with celebrities including Jeremy Clarkson & Kim Kardashian taking it. It is given as an injection straight into the stomach, thigh or upper arm. It suppresses hunger by mimicking an appetite-regulating hormone, leaving users feeling fuller for longer. But obesitry experts warn it is not a magic bullet and may trigger unpleasant side effects, from nausea and diarrhoea to pancreatitis and gallbladder problems.
