In the Age of Ozempic: Accessibility and Cost
The effectiveness and cost of weight loss drugs like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro have been discussed on "Connections with Evan Dawson".
Millions of adults take these popular GLP-1 medications to treat chronic conditions and/or lose weight, with studies showing they can also reduce alcohol and drug consumption and lower the risk of heart attacks.
- Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro are used for weight loss and treating chronic conditions.
- These medications can curb alcohol and drug consumption and lower heart attack risk.
