Has Anyone On Here Tried Ozempic Or Any Similar Weight Loss/ Pcos Treatment Drugs?

A myPCOSteam Member asked a question 💭

I am thinking about trying Ozempic. I want to see if I can get rid of some of the fat in my gut. I am already fasting, exercising, and trying different diets. I'm curious about what the results would be if I took Ozempic or something similar to it.

A myPCOSteam Member

@A myPCOSteam Member Thank you for your response! 😆 I'm now on the Atkins diet and have changed my exercise plan. I may end up trying ozempic if my plans don't work out
