Hormonal birth control was introduced in 1970’s, and were hearing about this decades later.
If Wegovy/etc are on a similar scale, how long until we find out those unintended side effects?
- awongh 3y agoYes, I also agree there’s a parallel here. Something that affects a major bodily function can’t possibly be free of serious side effects. Reproduction or metabolism- how would it be possible to chemically alter this and not have it affect you in other ways?
- Llamamoe 3y agoI hate to be cynical, but all of healthcare is like this. The focus is on a quick fix for whatever symptom is present and anything that affects people's state and wellbeing is dismissed as in their head for decades until(if ever) the evidence to the contrary becomes undeniable.
- aaomidi 3y agoWegovy is not a new drug though. It’s something we’ve used for a while but now it’s being considered for a new purpose.
