The market for obesity drugs is rapidly evolving, with new treatments like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro gaining popularity. These drugs create a feeling of fullness even before eating, and their use is being considered for treating obesity in children. However, the market is also facing challenges with counterfeit drugs, as fake versions of Ozempic and Wegovy are becoming widespread. Fortune Magazine outlines four steps to avoid these dangerous counterfeits. Companies in India and China are preparing to produce lower-cost versions of these drugs as patents near expiration, potentially increasing access to these treatments. Despite the hype and aggressive marketing on social media, the effectiveness of these drugs remains under scrutiny. Additionally, personal stories highlight the varying impacts of weight-loss drugs, with Bradley Olson shedding 40 pounds before facing challenges after discontinuation.
