To Ozempic or to Mounjaro? The Weight Loss Drug Primer
The Sunday Guardian
|July 13, 2025
How effective are these drugs? Who should take them? What are the side effects, both short and long term? Are these to be taken life-long?
India's top endocrinologist, Dr. Ambrish Mithal, has come out with a very well-timed and much-needed explainer on the new crop of weight loss drugs that have flooded the market. Entitled, "The Weight Loss Revolution: Weight Loss Drugs and How to Use Them," the book is co-authored with writer and senior journalist Shivam Vij. In fact, apart from the to-the-point headline, the book comes with a heartfelt dedication—"To all the brave souls who've survived countless diet plans." That should strike a chord the world over.
This is a book whose time is now. For if there is one constant topic in the drawing rooms of today, it is around Ozempic, Mounjaro, Wegovy, and Rybelsus. The battle of the bulge is one that is fought globally, and suddenly the losing side has been handed a potent new weapon.

AVOIDING AND MANAGING VENOMOUS SNAKE AND OTHER BITES OUTDOORS
Snakebites are a silent global health crisis, claiming an estimated 138,000 fatalities annually, of which 58,000 fatalities, the world's highest, are in India. India hosts over 60 venomous and 240 other snake species. Irula Cooperative Society of tribal snake handlers in Tamil Nadu supplies 80% of the venom for antivenom production in India, a major producer globally. The \"Big Four\" (not by size) venomous Indian snakes are the Russell's viper, saw-scaled viper, Indian cobra, and common krait. Snakes are captured, and venom is carefully extracted before they are released back into the wild. This venom is used to immunize animals like horses or sheep, and the antibodies from their blood are extracted and purified to create antivenom serum (AVS) for human use. These antivenoms are species-specific, costly, difficult to produce, and can provoke dangerous allergic reactions due to the presence of animal antigens. Polyvalent Antivenoms made for these \"Big Four\" do not cover other venomous species like the king cobra, banded Krait, and various pit vipers. Among the numerous Indian antivenom manufacturers, Haffkine Bio-Pharmaceutical Corporation also produces scorpion antivenom. Delayed access to antivenom, poor rural healthcare infrastructure, and transport contribute to a high morbidity (paralysis, bleeding disorders, kidney failure, and amputations) and mortality.
