Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 02:56:53 GMT

The medicine in the diabetes drug Mounjaro helped people with obesity or who are overweight lose at least a quarter of their body weight, or about 60 pounds on average, when combined with intensive diet and exercise, a new study shows.By comparison, a group of people who also dieted and exercised, but then received dummy shots, lost weight initially but then regained some, researchers reported Sunday in the journal Nature Medicine. “This study says that if you lose weight before you start the drug, you can then add a lot more weight loss after,” said Dr. Thomas Wadden, a University of Pennsylvania obesity researcher and psychology professor who led the study. The results, which were also presented Sunday at a medical conference, confirm that the drug made by Eli Lilly & Co. has the potential to be one of the most powerful medical treatments for obesity to date, outside experts said. “Any way you slice it, it’s a quarter of your total body weight,” said Dr. Caroline A...

Why do I feel sick after getting the flu shot, COVID booster?

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 02:56:53 GMT

(NEXSTAR) — Flu vaccines are available again and a new COVID booster has been released, which means there’s a good chance you’ll be getting a shot or two soon, if you haven’t already. But, maybe you’re hesitant to get either, knowing you might feel unwell afterward. Maybe you develop a headache or a fever, or maybe you feel achy and tired. Meanwhile, others who get the vaccine feel fine. Are you just very unlucky, or does this mean the vaccine is working for you but not them? Who shouldn’t get the new COVID booster? Unfortunately, there is no scientific explanation as to why some people experience side effects and others don’t, Dr. Rachel Scheraga, a pulmonary and critical care specialist at Cleveland Clinic, tells Nexstar. However, she says it’s likely the immune response triggered by the vaccine is the cause of the symptoms you may experience.How do vaccines work?Vaccines imitate the infection they’re made for, to catch the attention of your body’s natural defenses, th...
