The drugs, which are commonly prescribed to help regulate blood sugar and support weight loss, have surged in demand, particularly as high-profile celebrities openly discuss their use.
But Mo'Nique made it clear she has serious concerns.
"What [are] the long-term effects? What will it do to your body? Your mind? What will it do to us five years from now, 10 years from now?" she asked, according to Essence, questioning whether people fully understand what they're putting into their systems.
“Love yourself enough not to be tricked.”
Mo'Nique warns people about the dangers of taking weight loss drugs and encourages people to research what they’re putting in their body.
She questioned what it will do to your mind and body.
While acknowledging that many users may be thrilled with their physical transformations, she cautioned that short-term results don't always guarantee long-term safety.
"You may get down to that size two or size four or that size eight or whatever that thing is. But I would ask you to research what you're putting in your body," she said.
The Oscar winner also suggested that social media and celebrity culture are influencing people to follow suit.
"They got us caught up in trends," Mo'Nique said, adding that ordinary individuals are being swayed by "big stars."
