The world of weight loss can be a toxic, all-consuming place.

“Taking Ozempic or Wegovy for ‘vanity’ weight loss without a valid medical reason puts you at risk,”tells GLAMOUR, stressing the importance of not taking these medications if you are a healthy weight – doing so “could contribute to the maintenance of unhealthy beauty standards, which can lead to issues with body image, and have a negative impact on your attitude towards losing weight.”

“When it comes to getting cheap, or counterfeit versions of a drug, one thing you can't guarantee is consistency,” Michael Sam-Yorke, a clinician who prescribes Ozempic, tells GLAMOUR. “There have been horror stories of people being injected with something else that has become detrimental to someone's health as a result.”]Eleanor Noyce

Eating disorder charity Beat have also stated that misuse of these medications can “further entrench eating disorder thoughts and behaviours”.
