If there were a psychological factor at work, it should not have been that different!
Why not? Ozempic is prescribed for people with DM2 who are most likely obese. Wegovy is for people who are obese without DM2. Two different populations and motivations.
A pharmacist recently told me the most frequent complaint he hears about the semaglutide drug class: "It makes me feel full, not hungry." Doh!

Statistics are based on 1 in a hundred, you are 1 in a million.
Double-edged sword - they send out questionnaires asking if a person on the drug experienced ...... if a person had an ear infection and had vertigo from it while on the drug - the questionnaire puts “vertigo” as a potential side effect.
You can’t pick out the actual from the far-fetched - but it’s obvious that a lot of the drugs do increase some serious risks - I hate it when they say the drug, “may help....” or “It is not known how it works....”
Anyone who actually reads the side effects of big pharma drugs would never take the drugs to begin with.
All drug ads should be removed for all media and left choice should be between the Dr and the patient. Big pharma should only be allowed to put out a list of what drugs are available and for what and a felony crime for any interactions between them and any doctor and/or medical facility with full liability for their products on the line when used.
Right...you should stop and reflect. You should also understand how this data is collected and reported.
You are using adverse events and percentages of incidence from two different populations: obese and those with diabetes. They are not the same. Full stop. End of story.
You're also dealing with much smaller numbers. Clinical trials try to obtain a diverse representation of the targeted population, but people are different. Some are more sensitive to feeling nausea than others. Statistics are extrapolated, but the potential adverse effects listed in the patient insert may not be what you experience. Even trial to trial, among patients with the same disease state the percentages of reported adverse events won't likely be the same.
There are people on FR that look for boogeymen behind every pharmacy bottle. In a few cases, it might be justified--I'm not excusing any of the C19 vaccines--but in a great majority of cases clinical trials follow the scientific method and are doing their best to offer life-saving or improving medicines.
These are the medical professionals who are constantly telling us not to trust what we read on the internet. They are whipping that phone out and researching right in front of me!
Nausea. Yeh, because if you’re nauseous you dont eat. 😆
