I mean eh… kind of. Like it’s a medication that isn’t made for PCOS, thus isn’t necessarily approved for it. While there are people who do take Ozempic and have PCOS, everyone’s symptoms vary. There are skinny people who have PCOS, and there are some who don’t have insulin resistance. So a lot of people won’t benefit much, if at all, from GLP-1 agonists. However, one of the major concerns around Ozempic are that not only is this a medication that is for diabetics, but that the side effects are insane (while they’re very regular for every type of medication they’re still crazy). And the effects if you use Ozempic for long-term use are terrible.
If PCOS effects insulin resistance and makes it difficult/complex to lose weight, would it not be a pretty good case for the use of Ozempic?
