McCall McPherson discusses why Zofran might not be ideal for weight loss. The drug causes tiredness and brain fog, may actually slow weight loss, and shouldn't use the same dosing as diabetes patients. Adding it often leads to taking more drugs to manage side effects.

Yeah. Honestly, I think you're. I think you're correct. And it's.
Great because Zofran can make you tired and foggy, and it kind of tends to stop weight loss. So it's like, why are we putting these. These patients are spending all this money on a weight loss medication, and then they're feeling sick, and now we're having to do polypharmacy to do. It's like, well, maybe we just lower the dose.
Right. And so what I think where we're headed, I think, is we've been basing dosing on people for weight loss on people with diabetes, and that is not, like, what needs to be happening. People that are on these meds just to lose weight do not need the same amount of medication as people who are diabetics.
