A New Prescription Podcast #5: Ozempic: The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly
By
Leonard Zwelling
You cannot turn on the television without hearing about them. Ozempic and the other seemingly magic drugs that lead to diabetes control, a decrease in cardiovascular disease, and weight loss. But where do they come from, how were they discovered, and are they really safe?
Our guest on this podcast is Dr. Estratios Koutoumpakis, a cardio-oncologist from MD Anderson Cancer Center who studies the use of these drugs to reduce obesity and the risk of cardiac disease, but also has observed other potential benefits. He explains how these drugs produce weight loss, how they were ever found, and the multiple uses of them in clinical medicine. He will also sort out the various types of drugs and their names so you can understand what is being sold to you on TV.
Please join us for our latest podcast when my son Andrew and I speak with Dr. Koutroumpakis and explore the benefits and risks of these seemingly miraculous weight-reduction drugs.
