The experts who reviewed it agree the medication does reduce appetite and help people eat smaller portions, but they differ sharply on whether the benefits justify the risks. One take notes it works best for people who eat out of habit rather than hunger, helping them feel satisfied on less food. However, multiple reviewers flag serious potential side effects, including thyroid cancer detected in animal studies, dangerously low blood sugar that can cause dizziness and confusion, pancreatitis that worsens if present, kidney problems, and vision changes. The gurus caution that those risks may warrant use for serious medical need under a doctor's care, but not for modest weight loss, and stress anyone with thyroid or pancreas issues should avoid it entirely.
