To lose weight. This is the goal of thousands of people. Losing a few pounds is no easy task and many end up looking for shortcuts. Experts say that the consumption of injections to lose weight without medical advice has been increasingly frequent. There are a variety of these medications on the market and they can be purchased over-the-counter at pharmacies across the country.
These drugs are expensive and the best sellers cost between R$ 600 and R$ 900. According to R7, the products were originally developed for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, but they proved to be effective in weight control, causing the manufacturer to create specific versions for patients with obesity.
