Losing body weight is not easy and for this people resort to exercise and other methods.
But now a drug has been developed which is proving to be very effective in reducing body weight.
The drug Zepbound, produced by the American company Eli Lilly, has been approved for use in the United States.
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved its use, which can be used by people who suffer from high blood pressure or cholesterol and type 2 diabetes to reduce body weight.
This drug was approved after 2 large clinical trials. During these trials, volunteers were used for 72 weeks.
All of these overweight individuals also had high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or coronary artery disease.
These individuals were instructed to consume 500 calories per day. The results of the trial showed that using this drug reduced body weight by 18 to 25 percent.
Administered as an injection, this drug alters the actions of hormones that control metabolism and appetite, thereby improving blood sugar levels.
But the use of this medicine can also cause some side effects, including digestive system problems and hair loss.
