Dr. Decotiis NYC Weight Loss Expert on Fake #Ozempic & Weight Loss Drugs/Meds: Risks & Safety Concerns
Ozempic essentially could pose serious health risks. So let's talk about that. More on it with doctor, Sue Decotiis medical weight loss expert here in New York who's here in our studio. So thank you, doctor, for coming in. We appreciate this. How serious how big of a problem because a lot of people either are taking or looking into taking ozempic, I assume, and then they get hit with these fakes. How big a. Risk? This is such a great topic. People really need to know this. I practice in New York City. I see patients in new Jersey, Connecticut, Long Island, really all over the country, and everyone is complaining about scams with these medications, but a lot of them have been involved with these scams before they see me. So you don't know what you're getting. So this is the key. This is what people need to know okay. You don't want to get this medication online. You need to get it through a physician. I mean. That's the first and foremost thing you would think in any medication. Make sure exactly. That it's prescribed for you. And then do you always avoid these kind of scams? Well, I think that if you're getting it from a physician, you're pretty assured that it's going to be okay. Um, so you would either get the commercial product from a physician or you can get a compounded a legitimate compounded product from a physician. And I prescribe tirzepatide, um, which is Mounjaro and zap bound. I also prescribe ozempic, which is semaglutide, also wegovy. So just because it's not ozempic, I'm going to put up the warning from the World Health Organization while we speak about it and then just read about these falsified products. So these falsified products, they say, could have harmful effects to people's health if the products don't have the necessary raw components. Falsified medicines can lead to health complications resulting from unmanaged blood glucose levels of weight. So you're sounds like you're saying there are other options, not just ozempic. There are other real options, but you got to be careful. Correct. So again, when you're dealing with a compounded medication, you want to get it from a physician. If you don't, you don't know what's in it. Yeah. Some of these medications allegedly have had insulin in them that could kill somebody or perhaps sterile water or who knows what else is in it. So it's very, very dangerous. The other thing that you want to know is even if you're using an online app, which is supposedly, you know, one of these things that you average that you see advertised on TV. Some of them are legit, but you're not actually seeing a weight loss physician, and you're getting your care online from someone that's never examined you. And I think the success in my practice is not just prescribing really good compounded products like Tirzepatide and Ozempic, but it's also following patients really carefully. They need to be followed on a body composition scale where we make sure they're not losing muscle. What are the safety concerns? There's one losing muscle that you would have for Ozempic and other drugs that are normally right there, normally relatively safe. Yes, if you're prescribing them. Is that true? True. So but you do have concerns there that people have to be careful of just outside of the scope. So if you're just taking it without getting out of body composition scale, you don't know how it's working. And the number one mistake that people make and my patients out there are rolling their eyes. Here she goes again. Is not drinking enough water. If you're not hydrated, you will burn muscle because the body is afraid to burn fat because fat is so much water. So you're losing water when you're losing weight. If you're drinking the water, then the body will selectively burn the fat and you'll save muscle. So any drug that promotes insulin and these drugs, these GLP one drugs like Ozempic and Mounjaro and z-band, they're all promoting the way insulin works in the body. That's why they're such effective fat burners. What about how much they cost? A lot, right? Sometimes I just read something. People paying like 900 bucks a month, is that right? Or is that at. Least maybe. 12, $1,300 per month? So for the. Commercial products. Is that what's leading. To all the scams? I mean, they try to get in and get you something a little bit cheaper.

A lot of companies are getting involved with producing these sorts of drugs, so competition will eventually drive all these prices down. Plus, Victoza is now off patent. That's what happened with the ED drugs, too, which used to be outrageously expensive, but have come down in price since they went generic.
