After it turned out that diabetes medicine Ozempic also helps to lose excess pounds, it became extremely popular. And not just for patients. Many people without diabetes turn to the drug to get rid of their tummy, but what are the consequences? Agnes Kant of the Lareb Side Effects Center, CBG chairman Ton de Boer and trend watcher Doortje Smithuijsen join Op1.
What do Elon Musk, Sharon Osbourne and Gert Verhulst have in common? They all used diabetes drug Ozempic to lose weight quickly. And they started a trend. With a dark side. Because the drug can no longer be found in pharmacies, so diabetes patients who really need it are missing out. The producer is now even sounding the alarm.
A pharmaceutical company who starts a campaign against his own medicine. Ton de Boer, chairman of the Medicines Evaluation Board, has never experienced this before. “But I understand. This medicine is made against diabetes. If a patient uses this for other purposes, the package leaflet is no longer correct.”
