Loading player...
In this week’s health segment, Hlekani had the pleasure of hosting General Practitioner and Diabetes Specialist Dr. Makhomisane in the studio. They discussed Ozempic, a medication primarily used for treating type 2 diabetes, which can also lead to weight loss as a secondary effect. Dr. Makhomisane emphasised that although Ozempic has been approved for weight loss, it is essential to have it prescribed by a medical doctor. Like any other medication, Ozempic comes with its own side effects, which require users to exercise caution.
