When it comes of patent I assume lots more people will be using it. It will be dirt cheap.
I heard somebody say airlines already seeing reduced fuel consumption. No idea if that is true.

lol, ok, sport.
So you’re telling us to lose weight you need to have advanced degrees?
No, I’m telling you that you’re not a doctor. He has seen a medical professional. You don’t know his medical history. My guess is that you follow the Trump school of medical science and inject Clorox into yourself.
I recognize he did what he felt was best and that’s good but your body doesn’t just magically stop losing weight at some arbitrary number. You may hit a plateau and need to reassess but you can lose the weight without drugs.
But you can keep telling me I’m wrong
I’m not telling you that you are wrong. I’m telling you that it’s not always as simple as starving yourself. This is why we have doctors and we don’t inject ourselves with Clorox. Medical science is advancing everyday and your simplistic attitude holds little weight because you’re not a doctor.
Injecting yourself with clorox and weight loss are not on the same playing field.....
I bet you could lose weight injecting yourself with Clorox.
The medical science where doctors are prescribing a diabetes shot for weight loss?
I believe it has been approved by the FDA for weight loss as well.
Medications Containing Semaglutide
Semaglutide for diabetes type 2 and weight loss are in shortage and being compounded.
- Wegovy injection is approved to help adults and children aged 12 years and older with obesity or some adults with excess weight (overweight), who also have weight-related medical problems, to lose weight and keep the weight off, in addition to diet and exercise.
Same drug different dose. One more point, there is a very strong benefit to reducing cardiac death when taking these drugs. Even for patients not obese or diabetic, it reduces their chance for fatal heart disease. Same thing with jardiance
Good points. Do you also remember when Michelle Obama was slammed relentlessly for attempting to help school kids learn healthy eating habits? Oh, and I live in a a state that is partially responsible for America's obesity problem. You can't pump corn sugar into every prepackaged food without people getting fat. I was looking at labels of bread at Hy-Vee yesterday and one package said, "The taste kids love"!. The nutrition label said 5 grams of added sugar per slice. Per... Slice...
I can tell you to buy low and sell high but that doesn't make me a stock broker. It doesn't allow me to use my "expertise" to tell you how to invest your money. If pressed and my reply is that every 5th grader knows you sell stocks at a higher price than you buy I'd say i dont know shit and my opinion is just that.
I love the old, "but diet and exercise doesn't work for me" crowd! Ever see a fat person in a NAZI concentration camp? It would seem diet and exercise worked 100% of the time there..............
I just saw a Dr. Oz clip where he said losing weight isn’t tied to how many calories you eat vs. how many you burn. He’s a doctor, so he would know.
People don’t want to feel hungry, and that’s a big part of losing weight.
I should ask. The first thing I tell them is I've never been prescribed any of the weight loss stuff.
ever seen an american ww2 uniform of the guys who were fighting and flying planes? holy crap they look like ten yr old boys clothes. a lot less obesity for sure back then.
This one is my favorite. Let's push another drug instead of maybe promoting people have some actual self control and skip the pastry aisle. Fvcking big pharma is the root of all evil in this world.
Lung darts are a lot cheaper than $1,000/month and will suppress appetite. They also make you look cool
Congrats, that's how you get after it! I have struggled with my weight as well for 20 years. Growing up a wrestler was used to starving/binging. Had both knees surgery w/in 2 years less active and also decided it was time. Can't run anymore so dieting, elliptical, lifting and walking. Taking Zepbound this year along with fasting 1 day a week and intermittent fasting daily. Down 35 lbs so far this year. What people that have never struggled with weight don't know is that your body works against you. The body thinks you need to get back to that heavy weight so it will fight you along the way. Dr. Jason Fang is great at explaining diabetes and how body works for someone like me that knows nothing medical. Anyways congrats and glad this drug is available even if to get someone motivated to change their lifestyle like the both of us. Good luck to keep going and hit that goal weight!
I would guess the benefits on not being obese, almost too numerous to count, outweigh the side effects for most.
This is pre-green revolution. The green revolution significantly increased the availability of calories.
My dad who is on it and pre diabetic and obese has lost 50 pounds in 10 months. Less knee issues, better blood pressure, blood sugar, doesn’t eat bad food, pushed him towards a healthier lifestyle and now he works out 3-4 times a week. It’s not like people will be in this their whole life. As mentioned earlier, it is a lifestyle change but it doesn’t hurt to have something push you in the right direction during the start of your journey.
I lost my first 40 without pharmaceuticals. I was continuing to lose, just 5-10 pounds per year.
Hopefully there are no serious side effects from long term usage.
What I’ve noticed with these category of drugs is that patients largely ignore the fact that the drug is intended to be used in conjunction with a healthy diet and regular exercise. Instead, users fall into the magic pill syndrome and refuse to meaningfully modify behaviors.
