The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends weight-loss drugs for minors in certain instances. A survey from Kaiser Family Foundation found one in eight adults have taken drugs like Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro. As childhood and adolescent obesity cases skyrocket, the American Academy of Pediatrics now recommends weight loss drugs for some younger patients. This is a controversial measure due to the unknown long-term effects of the drugs. There is also the over-reliance on medication in general in society which is now being cultivated at an entirely too-early age. Big Pharma stands to benefit from this booming industry of weight loss drugs for children just as they have for adults. This appears to be less about the health of the youth of this country and more about ever-increasing profits for mega corporations.
