Odd consequence - Injection for weight loss might risk impulsiveness

The weight loss injection has been raising concerns among experts, who warn that it might lead users to exhibit reckless behavior. According to a report from the "Daily Mail," two professionals have highlighted the possibility of individuals exhibiting unusual impulses, engaging in risky activities, or making significant life changes as a result of taking the medication. This phenomenon is known as impulse control disorder.

The researchers behind the study, published in the medical journal QJM, argue that the focus on rapid weight loss in previous studies has been too narrow, and more attention should be paid to the long-term effects of the drug on cognitive abilities.

The reasons behind the drug's potential connection to impulse control disorder are still unclear, but history has shown that other drugs have had similar effects on people's behavior.

Dr. Raymond Playford, co-author of the study, stressed the importance of doctors alerting their patients about the potential dangers of atypical or unusual impulses.
