Oklahoma’s Heat Risk for GLP-1 Users | Oklahoma City News

from Oklahoma City News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Oklahoma’s sweltering heat is creating a dangerous new health risk for millions on GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy—new research shows one in five Oklahomans are on these meds, and extreme temps combined with suppressed appetite and nausea are putting people at serious dehydration risk. Doctors urge daily hydration goals of 64 ounces, nutrient-rich meals, and warn it’s okay to pause or adjust dosages if managing becomes too hard. Meanwhile, Pfizer and Amgen are developing monthly versions of these shots to ease the burden—because staying healthy should never be harder than surviving the heat.
