Gen Z Seeking Weight-Loss Drugs for Cosmetic Reasons, Doctors Report Rise in Demand

Young adults in their early 20s, referred to as Gen Z, are increasingly seeking weight-loss drugs like Mounjaro for cosmetic reasons, even when not meeting medical criteria. Doctors report a rise in demand, with some practitioners prescribing these medications indiscriminately, while others refuse, citing that diet and exercise would suffice for many. While some Gen Z patients have genuine medical needs, a significant number are pursuing these drugs for aesthetic purposes to lose weight quickly.
