At the Endocrinology Outpatient Department of Apollo Hospital in Delhi, an increasing number of young patients are seeking weight-loss drugs like Semaglutide and Tirzepatide for rapid weight loss, often influenced by social media. Dr. Subhash Wangnoo reports that many patients are starting these medications without proper medical evaluation, leading to serious health complications such as nausea, dehydration, and irregular menstrual cycles. For instance, Riya, a 27-year-old patient, experienced significant side effects after using these drugs without consulting a doctor. While these medications can be effective when used correctly, misuse is becoming normalized. Dr. Wangnoo warns that these drugs should not be viewed as shortcuts for cosmetic weight loss but rather as metabolic therapies requiring careful monitoring. The introduction of cheaper generic versions has made these drugs more accessible, but it also raises concerns about safety and efficacy. Dr. Ambrish Mittal from Max Healthcare emphasizes that while generics have improved affordability, they should still be prescribed under strict medical guidelines. Ultimately, the focus should be on safe, sustainable health improvements rather than just weight loss.
