Ozempic has received a lot of attention lately for its dramatic weight loss. There are many opinions regarding the use of this drug. While typically used with diabetic patients, non-diabetic patients have been requesting this more and more from their doctors. With any prescription drug, there are variations of side effects, and some might not be as pleasant. Join The Women’s Fund in a discussion on this hot topic with experts and get all of your questions answered.
Doc Talk, The Women’s Fund women’s outreach education program, is a hybrid series of conversations with medical professionals on cutting-edge and trending health topics. Moderated by Casey Curry, Doc Talk is funded in part by The John P. McGovern Foundation and sponsored by alliantgroup. Guests will have the option to join virtually or in-person at alliantgroup’s office, located at 3009 Post Oak Blvd, Ste. 2000, Houston, 77056.
