Injectable Weight Loss Drugs Spike | Amsterdam News

Description

The Netherlands is facing a dangerous surge in weight-loss drug poisonings, with cases doubling to 149 last year—mostly from unapproved, experimental, or off-label injectables bought online. Many users, especially those using popular drugs like semaglutide and liraglutide without prescriptions, are getting sick from overdoses or harmful contaminants. Symptoms range from dizziness to dangerously high blood pressure. Social media is fueling the trend, pushing people toward unregulated products with unpredictable risks. Health officials warn this is a growing public health crisis fueled by DIY approaches and lack of medical oversight.
