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

Michael stresses the vital importance of using these drugs with the guidance of a healthcare professional, due to the risks to your health that are posed if you don’t stick to the right dosing schedule. Eating disorder charity Beat have also stated that misuse of these medications can “further entrench eating disorder thoughts and behaviours”.
