Unpacking the Realities of Weight Loss Drugs: Ozempic and Wegovy
This chapter explores the growing market for weight loss medications like Ozempic and Wegovy, examining their increasing popularity and the potential health risks associated with their use. It critically assesses the validity of effectiveness claims and the societal pressures surrounding weight loss, shedding light on the financial implications for users.
