Query about the use of Semaglutide
Hello,
I am an obese teen, and the doctor prescribed me to use Semaglutide for weight loss. He also conferred on the news that it could cause pancreatitis in some cases.
Now, I want to know what is the rate of the patients who are being diagnosed after being treated with Semaglutide? And, should I take it for weight loss considering the risk of pancreatitis?
Thank you.
