This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am a 29-year-old female desperate to lose weight, as I have been obese all my life. Recently, I read an article on how Semaglutide injection has shown great results in helping in weight loss. Can this medicine be used to lose weight? I have also started working out recently. I am concerned if this medication is safe to take without any long-term side effects? Kindly help.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concern.

All the weight-loss medications are not good for our health because they lead to plenty of side effects like dizziness and severe muscle weakness as well. Anti-obesity medications will also cause such symptoms with serious health side effects.

I would suggest you not use Semaglutide or any over-the-counter medicine as well because these can cause side effects as well. I suggest you follow the below-mentioned instructions if you still want to use it.

  1. Get a complete body checkup done.
  2. Try to improve your lifestyle.
  3. Try natural ways of weight loss like dieting and exercising.

I hope this information will help you.

Thank you.
