AMA with UK Pharmacist, Younis Abdulla
Hello, Reddit! I’m Younis Abdulla, MPharm, MRPS, Director of Ibn Sina Health Limited and Locum Pharmacist. On Tuesday 14th January, 4pm (GMT), I’ll be hosting my first #AMA, where I’ll answer your questions about weight loss treatment. So, Ask Me Anything!
A little bit about me: I completed my undergraduate MPharm at the University of East Anglia and then carried out my Trainee Foundation Year in south Essex split between hospital and GP. I then worked as a junior pharmacist between GP and hospital. It was here that I began working on conducting medication reviews for complex patients.
In 2021, I commenced my MBChB and began work as a locum pharmacist working across the community, hospital and GP. This is when I established Ibn Sina Health Limited to help improve healthcare education and find solutions to modern-day health issues.
One growing health trend is the use of GLP-1 medications (such as Ozempic, Mounjaro and Wegovy) for weight loss. That’s why I’m here!
Sometimes, people think weight loss medication is the easy way out, or a quick fix. Let’s clear the air around questions like:
- How much weight do people lose with weight loss medications?
- What are some common side effects associated with GLP-1 injections?
During my AMA, you can ask me your questions about GLP-1s, side effects, how these medications work, and together, we’ll shed light on the facts.
