The doctor warns/ "Do not use diabetes medicines to lose weight, many

The US Food and Drug Administration is reporting shortages of the type 2 diabetes drug Ozempic.

The news comes after the drug has gone viral on the Tik-Tok app and people are using it to lose weight. Experts say some people are taking the drug in question without a prescription just to lose a few pounds.

Dashamir Gjergji, endocrinologist, advised on the show Goodmorning Albanians not to use diabetes medicines to lose weight as the damage to the body is numerous.

He explained that the trend happened because when the drug was used by diabetics they became thin and wanted to look like them.

"The side effects that these drugs bring to people who do not suffer from diabetes range from disorders of the digestive system, nervous disorders, short-term and long-term disorders. Each of these products, combined with insulin, puts the cell under metabolic stress, which makes it predisposed to cancer," said the doctor.
