Hi,
I never took Wegovy. I did a quick search to find out what it was and it looks like there is another drug that might be an option. In my opinion, if a drug has a correlation with causing thyroid cancer and there is an alternative, I would go with the alternative medicine. The medicine was approved so the benefits must outweigh the risks but if there is an option, another medicine might work just as well without the added risk.
Good luck!

Thank you. I’ll let my pcp im not comfortable using it at this time and if there are any other options. I take contrave which is something that can help with overeating and weight loss but it hasn’t helped me. She did say she talked to the pharmacist and said the cancer wouldn’t be a problem.
