A well-known actor had just completed a film and approached a doctor with a problem. The actor had gained some weight during the making of the film and wanted to shed 6 kg within weeks before making public appearances.
The actor wasn’t obese and didn’t have diabetes, a thyroid disorder, Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) or any other metabolic condition. However, she wanted to know from Dr. Rajiv Kovil whether she could still use a GLP-1–based weight-loss injection like Ozempic or Mounjaro.
