History

Historical Context

The FDA approved Ozempic, a GLP-1 receptor agonist, for type 2 diabetes in 2017, following the earlier success of liraglutide in 2010. By 2022, prescriptions surged by 300%, reflecting a trend where celebrities like Amy Schumer openly discuss weight management through medications. This raises ethical concerns about using diabetes drugs for weight loss among healthy individuals, highlighting ongoing debates in medical ethics.
