Wedding ceremonies are increasing day by day, but health experts have warned that these drugs are only for people with medical needs and not for cosmetic or temporary use.
According to medical reports, brides and grooms-to-be are increasingly seeking information about injections such as semaglutide and terzepam, drugs commonly prescribed to treat type 2 diabetes and obesity.
In the market, semaglutide is sold as Ozempic and Wegovy, while terzepatide is sold as Monjaro and Zepbound.
Possible health effects after quitting Ozempic
According to experts, these drugs mimic the hormone GLP-1 in the body, which controls blood sugar, hunger, and the digestive system.
This process increases insulin levels, reduces hunger, and slows stomach emptying, leading to weight loss.
Doctors’ concern
According to doctors, about 20 percent of inquiries about obesity injections in recent months have come from married women who want to lose weight quickly. Physicians have clarified that the drug is only given to medically qualified patients.
Medical experts say that these drugs are certainly effective, but they are not appropriate to use just for beauty or marriage.
Short-term harms of medications

According to experts, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, fatigue, and severe loss of appetite are common symptoms in the first weeks of using Monjaro and Ozempic.
Cosmetic effects include sagging facial skin, commonly referred to as ‘Ozimpek face’, and temporary hair loss.
In some cases, risks such as pancreatitis, gallstones, and severe gastrointestinal problems may also arise.
Long-term effects

Experts say that there is a high risk of weight regain after stopping the medication, so it cannot be considered a temporary solution. Rapid weight loss can also affect muscle and bone strength.
Because these medications slow down stomach motility, some people may develop long-term digestive problems.
According to experts, further research is still underway on the long-term effects of these drugs.
Medical experts are advising that a balanced diet, exercise, adequate sleep, and a plan made under medical supervision is a safer and more lasting way to lose weight, especially for occasions like weddings, as finding a quick fix can be dangerous to health
