Rising obesity rates worldwide have fuelled demand for new weight-loss drugs, including miracle shots.
However, promises of quick weight loss may hide health dangers.
The UK Ministry of Health is investigating 20 cases of death of people who resorted to this method, The Sun reports.
The drug can cause a host of side effects, experts say. Moreover, it is used only in chronic cases of obesity.
In addition, these injections should only be used in exceptional cases where other weight loss methods have failed.
The use of injectables for cosmetic purposes or without medical necessity is not recommended and may be harmful.
Experts confirm that injections are not a quick way to shed a few pounds before a holiday.
Misuse of these medications can result in serious health consequences.
Doctors have warned that after stopping the use of injectable weight loss drugs, appetite returns to normal, and it is important to be aware of this.
