Stop listening to random WhatsApp forwards and internet rumors about this. Only your oncologist or endocrinologist can explain the actual clinical trial data regarding human safety.

The main warning is actually about thyroid C-cell tumors seen in rats, not confirmed in humans. Focus on your strength training and clean eating, and let your doctor handle the medical clearance.

It is completely normal to feel concerned about these big warnings. Talking to your doctor will help clear all your doubts safely.

Bro, I was also freaked out by the boxed warning on the box. My doctor told me it's mostly a precaution because of rodent studies, so I went ahead with it.

My physician clarified that there is no definitive proof of it causing thyroid cancer in humans. However, it is strictly contraindicated if you or anyone in your family has Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma.

I know how terrifying it is to read the word 'cancer' on a medicine you need to take. Your anxiety is completely valid, but please let a professional guide you through the real facts.

I was very scared of this risk for my daughter. We sat with her specialist who showed us the data and put our minds at ease before starting.

We cannot stop our life because of every fear, but we must be careful. Just do your yearly health checkups and blood tests diligently as advised by your family doctor.
