Weight loss pen. What kind of use is safe and correct??

This time, the trend of weight loss pens in the GLP-1 agonist has been very strong.

Many people see the review and become interested because they hear that "weight down quickly," "hunger control," "less eating."

But what I want to invite everyone to stop reading before deciding is...

Weight loss pen = medicine, not supplements

And not something that anyone wants to thin can buy for themselves.

This group of drugs should be used only when there is a medical indication.

Not only used because of wanting to lose weight quickly or using according to the trend

In general, those who may consider using it are

✅ Adults 18 and older who have

* BMI ≥ 30 kg / m ²

Or

* BMI ≥ 27 kg / m ² and with comorbidity or weight risk factors

Such as diabetes / hypoglycemia, hypertension, abnormal blood lipids, sleep apnea, or cardiovascular disease.

And the important thing is

This group of drugs is used in combination with diet and exercise.

Not a substitute for behavior adjustment.

Although many familiar drugs like

Sax ® / Wegovy® / Mountain ®

It is a drug used in this group, but it does not mean "everyone is fine," because each has different indications, precautions and suitability.

Some people forbid it.

❌, like,

* Have a history of self or family as medullary thyroid cancer or MEN2

* Used to be allergic to severe drugs

* Pregnancy, pregnancy planning or breastfeeding

Some people have to use it with care.

⚠️, like,

* Used to have pancreatitis

* Slow-moving gastroenterology (gastroparesis)

* Gallbladder disease

* Chronic kidney disease

* Diabetes in the retina

* Elderly

* Or those using insulin / sulfonylurea, which is low sugar risk.

So before you start, the doctor should evaluate

* Really?

* Is there any common disease?

* Are there drugs in use that may react?

* Risk side effects?

* And which drug is suitable? How much size?

📌 Summary

Weight loss pens, not supplements.

But it's a drug that should only be used by people with medical indications.

And subject to the diagnosis, monitoring and guidance of the doctor.

Do not buy it yourself from the review. Do not inject along. Do not see that it can be reduced and think that it is suitable for everyone.

Because "lose weight" doesn't mean "safe for everyone."

Leave, share, keep or pass to people who are interested in weight loss pens to read before making a decision. 💚
