Doctors weigh in on the Ozempic microdosing trend
Original: Is microdosing Ozempic safe? An obesity medicine doctor on the trend, the risks, and when a low dose makes sense
An obesity medicine doctor is addressing growing interest in microdosing Ozempic, the practice of taking very low doses of the weight-loss drug to limit side effects and cost. The doctor explains the possible risks, why unsupervised low dosing can be problematic, and the limited situations where a reduced dose may actually make medical sense.
Why now: Ozempic's popularity for weight loss has led many patients to experiment with lower doses without clear medical guidance.
