Ozempic and other weight-loss injections are becoming more and more popular for people wanting to lose weight quickly. While they can be effective, there are some side effects that aren’t talked about enough.
A lot of people have heard of “Ozempic face,” where the face looks more sunken or tired due to quick fat loss. But there are deeper changes happening in the body too. One big concern is the effect on bone health. Losing weight too fast, especially without enough nutrients, can lower bone density. This is a real risk for women going through or near menopause, as they’re already more likely to develop osteoporosis.
Other hidden side effects include problems with digestion, changes to the gut bacteria, and low levels of important vitamins and minerals. These can affect your energy, hair, skin, and immune system. People also report things like nausea, bloating, and constipation while on the medication.
At PhysioMotion, we always look at the full picture when it comes to health. Weight-loss injections might be helpful for some, but it’s important to understand the possible downsides aswell. If you’re thinking about using them, speak with a healthcare professional to make sure it’s the right choice for your body and long-term health.
