Some people fear that new obesity drugs will inevitably prove to be dangerous, but there are key distinctions from the fen-phen crisis of the 1990s.
The drug Ozempic , after just a few years on the market, has already become a household name synonymous with weight loss. The popularity of it and similar medications has skyrocketed so immensely and rapidly that one drugmaker ran commercials telling people to stop using the products if they’re only looking to drop a few pounds. It’s clear that these drugs actually work, helping people with obesity lose far more weight on average than diet and exercise alone.
The net result is that people need to eat less food to feel full and feel less cravings for food in general. Another difference between fen-phen and incretins is how these products reached the public. While the halves of fen-phen were approved separately for obesity, the drug combination itself never was, with doctors prescribing it off-label.
