Health experts have cautioned Nigerians against the abuse and misuse of a diabetes medication recently approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration, noting that those using the drug for weight loss without consulting qualified health experts are taking serious risks.

However, over time, the drug has become a popular weight loss fad with even Elon Musk, the Chief Executive Officer of Twitter attributing his weight loss to the use of the drug in a tweet.

The drug also imitates a hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1 that is naturally produced in the intestines by limiting appetite and as a result of this, people with obesity and accompanying health concerns have lost weight while taking it. Despite its recent popularity, health experts warn against the non-medically guided prescription of the drug by beauty outlets.
