Originally designed to treat type 2 diabetes, medications like Ozempic and Mounjaro are now being prescribed off-label for weight losseven to people without diabetes
This is a perfectly valid approach
While individual results can vary, Ozempic generally leads the pack in head-to-head weight loss statistics, outpacing Contrave in the amount of weight patients can expect to lose.The choice between Ozempic and Contrave depends on your individual health goals and needs
