Weight-Loss Injections Effective Only When Essential Conditions Are Met, Says Professor Eldor

Professor Roy Eldor, head of the Endocrinology Institute at Ichilov Medical Center, discussed the benefits of weight-loss injections in a recent interview on 103FM. He emphasized that these medications are effective only when used correctly and under necessary conditions. Eldor highlighted that the evaluation of these drugs extends beyond their ability to reduce weight, focusing also on their impact on obesity-related diseases and complications.

He explained that some of these injections have demonstrated protective effects on the heart and brain against cardiovascular events. Additionally, they help mitigate sleep apnea and other health issues caused by obesity. Eldor noted that ongoing research continues to reveal the broader therapeutic potential of these medications in treating obesity-related illnesses.
