Imagine taking a shot that promises quick weight loss and only to be left battling stomach paralysis, constant vomiting, or even vision loss. That’s the reality many patients in the US say they faced with Ozempic, once hailed as a “miracle” drug.

Originally designed for diabetes treatment, Ozempic skyrocketed in popularity as a weight loss trend on social media. Now, with lawsuits amounting to over USD 2 billion, questions about its safety are louder than ever.

At DocTok, we see this as a reminder that not every viral solution is a safe one. Behind every trending treatment, there may be hidden risks that only surface once it’s too late. Healthcare should never be driven by hype. It should be guided by evidence and transparency.
