Weight Loss Drugs Linked to Constipation, Fissures: Experts

Imagine someone trying to lose weight with special pills.

These pills can sometimes cause a tummy problem called constipation, making it hard to go to the bathroom.

This can lead to painful tears called fissures.

Doctors say these pills can slow down how food moves in your body.

While they can help with weight loss, they can also cause constipation because your body takes more water from your stool.

If you take more medicine without talking to a doctor, it can make things worse.

So, it's important to eat healthy foods, drink water, and talk to a doctor before starting these pills.
