Weight Loss drugs in India: Obesity has become a big disease in India today. Due to this, not only the lifestyle is getting spoiled but problems of other organs like diabetes, thyroid, fatty liver, kidney etc. are also arising. A research by GTB Hospital, New Delhi shows that obesity alone causes 200 types of diseases. Many times people resort to home remedies, exercise and gym etc. to lose weight, but do not get success in reducing obesity, hence nowadays not only capsules but also injections are available in the market for weight loss.
Recently weight loss and diabetes medicine Ozempic has been launched in India. Even before this, many weight loss medicines are being given to patients in India. However, with the help of injections, weight loss occurs quickly and success is achieved in less time, hence people are giving priority to them. Let us know which injections are available for weight loss in India? Can they be taken without medical advice? What are their prices?
Endocrinologist Dr. Sanjay Kalra says that there are many medicines available in India for weight loss. These include Monjaro, Vigovi, Ozempic and Liraglutide. All these medicines are available in injection form. Monjaro, Vigovi and Ozempic are administered once a week, while liraglutide is administered daily. Apart from this, obesity reducing capsules Orlistat are also available.
What are the obesity reducing medicines available in India? Dr. Sanjay Kalra gave the answer and told the prices.
Usually, people suffering from obesity or diabetes take the vaccine once a week. These also cost a lot. The cost of Ozempic vaccine is approximately Rs. 9 thousand per month, but as the dosage of the medicine increases, the expense also increases. Whereas Vigovi costs around Rs 10 thousand. Whereas Monjaro starts from Rs 11 to 12 thousand per month and as the dosage of the medicine increases, their cost also increases.
‘It has been seen that the effect of these vaccines is that they not only reduce weight but also cure sugar and for people who have heart or kidney problems, snoring problem or fatty liver, these things are also cured. However, these medicines should be used responsibly.
Doctor Kalra says that if you are not doing diet and exercise along with these medicines, then these medicines will not be completely effective. Apart from this, our behavior and our thoughts also have to be taken care of. If we follow the right path, we can see the right results, but it is more important not to take any of these medicines on our own without medical advice. First consult a doctor and take these medicines only if the doctor prescribes them.
