and.... what good did it do her to " feel great" but lose her large intestine????
I tell as many people as I can that crap is bad news! If you suddenly manifested the symptoms this drug causes, your doctor would be running countless tests to find out what is wrong with you.
The countdown is getting closer...
TV show break, then the ad...”Were you or a loved one injured by Ozempic or other GLP-1 products? Call the law firm of XXXXX”
Then phase 2:
News headline “Today Ozempic and other GLP-1 products were pulled from the market”
Drugs generally are not good for you. Ozempic is being touted as a miracle drug, it’s not.
Losing weight couldn’t be any easier nowadays and costs basically nothing. All it takes is a food scale ($10-20), a food tracker app ($0 - I use Fitbit) and some discipline.
Who do you think made it known? Follow the money.
...now the unintended consequences of overuse have started to arise.
Not a problem. The current batch of executives will receive their bonuses. The next board can deal with the fallout.
It is never easy to lose weight.
If it destroys your stomach and intestines you probably won’t have much appetite.
Not for everyone...
I am 6’ tall and, right now, about 262. I work out three times a week. I have a physically active job.
I have been on special diets where they provide 100% of the food. I was given 1200 calories a day. I lost 3 pounds in 3 months. It wasn’t until it was cut to 900 calories a day that we cranked up my weight loss to about a pound a week.
My doctors have FINALLY agreed that I have a metabolic issue. Unfortunately the test to nail down the issue costs over $10K and my insurance will not pay for it.
In the meantime they have me on Wegovy. It kills your appetite, virtually erasing all interest in food.
I would rather have them treating the underlying issue...in addition to the weight I have a low heart rate, low-ish blood pressure, and a low body temperature (about 96).
Its suspected to have contributed to Lisa Marie’s death by stomach paralysis
Novo Nordisk is banned from selling this junk in the EU, so the FDA here is easing their way to sales and profits....
I know someone who was taking a GLP1 for T2 diabetes... he permanently lost peripheral vision in one eye. Needless to say, he stopped taking the drug immediately.

My sister has lost about 40% of her vision. 😥
I have a friend who had 14” of her colon resectioned due to diverticulitis...
HA! Look up the word as it relates to Circe from the Odyssey ... pretty interesting...
Prune juice
dextrin
Psylium husks
These Glp-1 drugs being prescribed for problems that are not on their list are going to get people killed. But it is not the pharmaceutical people that are doing it, it is the doctors. And in some cases, they are prescribing these drugs for weight loss. And to my knowledge the only one of these drugs that is recommended used for that is wegovy. And it is in question because it is being prescribed for obesity not a few pounds.

Thyroid?
Eat crap food then need crap vaxx to ward off weight problems from said crap food? Not a problem 50 years ago. RFK Jr is right.
I’m not a doctor, but I don’t understand how it’s mathematically possible to sustain that weight on 1200 calories a day as the BMR on someone your size is well in excess of that if you even if you spent everyday in bed. 1200 down to 900 is 300 calories a day or 2800 calorie savings a week. A pound is about 3,500 calories, so the math almost checks out there. But, losing a pound a month on 1,200 calories at 262 pounds just doesn’t add up. The calories to maintain that kind of weight have to be coming from somewhere.
