Holistic medicine expert, Nikola Ndoni, invited to "Time to Wake Up" on News24 warned about the dangers of using Ozempic, which is seen as a "miracle drug" that helps with rapid weight loss.
He listed the negative effects of using Ozempic and similar medications, while adding that citizens should be careful and not play with hormones.
"Magic pills, unfortunately, have made us believe that every problem can be solved with a pill. I appeal to citizens, do not fall prey to quick and easy methods for losing weight, they destroy your health."
Fasting is the best and simplest way to lose weight.
Ozempic, and not only because there are other similar ones, are medications. It's not that I'm 100 percent against medications, but their use in these cases is very unacceptable. Of course it works and they lose weight, but how does it happen and with what consequences? Hormones should not be played with.
A possible risk could be irreversible blindness as the blood vessels are thin. It also causes twice as much depression. Suicidal tendencies also double.
"After 12-36 months of use, thyroid cancer can also occur. People who use it lose muscle mass, after stopping, the weight is regained but now with greater mass and there is no more muscle mass," he said.
