POPULAR QUESTION: ARE WEIGHT LOSS INJECTIONS, LIKE MOUNJARO OR OZEMPIC, SAFE?

Weight loss injections like Mounjaro or Ozempic are generally considered safe when prescribed and monitored by a Doctor. These medications are FDA-approved for managing type 2 diabetes and, in some cases, for weight loss.

They work by mimicking the GLP-1 hormone, which regulates appetite, digestion, and insulin production. However, their safety depends on individual health conditions, proper dosage, and adherence to medical guidance.

Most side effects are mild and include nausea, vomiting, loose stools, or constipation, which often improve as the body adjusts. Rare but serious risks may include pancreatitis, gallbladder issues, or thyroid tumours. Individuals with a history of medullary thyroid cancer or multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2 are typically advised to avoid these medications.

Long-term safety data for weight loss use is still being gathered, but current research suggests they are effective and well-tolerated for most individuals. It’s crucial to undergo a thorough medical evaluation to ensure these injections are suitable for your health profile. Regular follow-ups with your doctor at Prema can help monitor progress and address potential risks. Always remember, weight loss injections are most effective when combined with a balanced diet, exercise, and lifestyle changes for sustainable health benefits

How are Weight Loss Injections
Carried Out?

Weight loss injections like Mounjaro or Ozempic are self-administered subcutaneous (under-the-skin) injections. Here’s how they are typically carried out:

Prescription: Your Prema Doctor evaluates your medical history and weight-loss goals, then prescribes the appropriate medication and dosage, if suitable.

Preparation: The medication comes pre-filled in a pen-like device. Before use, check the expiration date and inspect the solution for clarity.

Injection Site: Common areas for injection include the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm. Rotate sites with each injection to avoid irritation.

Administration: After cleaning the skin with an alcohol swab, the needle is placed against the skin at a 90-degree angle. The button on the pen is pressed to release the medication.

Disposal: The used pen or needle is safely discarded in a sharps container.

These injections are usually administered weekly, and doses are adjusted gradually over time to reduce side effects. Your Prema Doctor will provide detailed instructions and demonstrate proper technique during your initial setup. Always follow their guidance to ensure safe and effective use.
