The success of weight loss medications, such as Ozempic and Wegovy, have ushered in a new era in weight loss treatment. Semaglutide and similar medications have proven effective in treating obesity and diabetes. But the popularity of the drugs have led to shortages, leading some of those who most need the medication struggling to find it.
But the medications are not a short-term fix for weight loss. They need to be taken on an ongoing basis, and treatments do not come cheap. Costs for many of the medications can exceed $1,000 a month.
KPBS Midday Edition wants to hear from you. What would you like to know about these new weight loss medications? Are you considering taking weight loss medications like Wegovy, Ozempic, or Mounjaro? If you are taking them, what has your experience been like?
