In recent months, a staggering number of women, particularly on social media, have been sharing their experiences with Ozempic, a drug that was originally developed to treat type 2 diabetes. Much like the viral okra water trend that previously swept through Kenyan households, Ozempic has now become the go-to solution for women seeking rapid weight loss.
However, according to Dr Rosslyn Ngugi, a Nairobi-based endocrinologist, this growing trend poses serious medical risks, particularly for individuals using the drug without proper medical supervision.
