The blockbuster weight loss drug sold as Ozempic and Wegovy will soon go generic in countries that are home to 40 percent of the world’s population, significantly lowering the price of a costly medicine that had been largely unaffordable to nearly all but the wealthiest people.
...On Saturday, Novo Nordisk, the company that until now has had a monopoly on selling the drug, will lose patent protection in several of the world’s most populous countries. The first generic versions are expected to arrive in India as soon as this weekend. In the coming months, the generics are also expected to become available in China, Canada, Brazil, Turkey and South Africa. ...The expiration of the patents presents more trouble for Novo Nordisk, whose stock has plummeted as global competition has eroded its market share. At its peak in mid-2024, the Danish drugmaker was the most valuable public company in Europe.
Eli Lilly, an American company that sells its weight loss drug as Mounjaro for diabetes and as Zepbound for obesity, poses the biggest competitive threat. Eli Lilly is expected to retain patent protection for another decade in most major markets.

Ideally, you lose the weight with personal discipline, diet, and exercise. But for the tens of millions who fail at that, that drug may be a better health choice than remaining obese, with all those related health and drug issues.
the Indians in the USA have embraced the buffet as far as I can see.
This sh!t will strip muscle from the bone! And shrink your stomach smaller than a lap band. I couldnt eat more than a tablespoon without violently projectile vomiting it up. Yeah, you’re gonna lose weight. Try this 5-6 times a day until you collapse. I had stomach side effects for 6 months after I stopped taking it. And I only took it for 8 months and it almost killed me.
This! Im just getting back to being able to exercise. So much about this will not be known for a few years. The manufactures are already rolling in dough!
Two Words:P
“Lactobacillus Reuteri”
Write and thank me later.
Also, best to get a cheap yogurt machine (simple to use) and make your own reuteri yogurt.
Less fat, more muscle, better skin. If you’ve ever had a course of antibiotics, it wiped out your reuteri probiotic.
I this different from the probiotics that is in FAGE greek yogurt?
Yes. Definitely.
Most commercial yogurt is only allowed to ferment for 6-8 hours and has no l. Reuteri probiotic.
Reuteri yogurt is made by fermenting over 36 hours, which allows the probiotic to multiply greatly.
Highly recommended for health benefits.
Eat just 4oz before bed - add anything you enjoy.
Another drug used for a side effect.
All of you can look like this!

Kelly Osbourne Slams Critics for Calling Out Her Dramatic Weight Loss

From your description of yourself and your lifestyle, I would have pictured you with a whole swarm of friends, neighbors, and cousins with whom you could have shared your bounty.
If I suddenly found myself in possession of 60 lbs of meat, I'd have to make only two or three phone calls to members of my "in-group," and it would vanish!
By the same token, they frequently call me to ask if I'd like, say, a couple of quarts of blueberries, cherries, etc.
That's how it usually works in rural America and similar settings.
Regards,
I did give some to both of my kids.
In fact the majority of the meat is in my daughter’s walk in freezer.
They run a raw dog food business.
My two boxes of meat are on the top shelf in that freezer.
I told them to help themselves.
The other fact is my mother in-law feeds the deer in her backyard.
So, she has no idea of the deer I shot behind my house.
My father in-law has sworn us to secrecy.
Also, the head mount will not be returned to me until January 2027.
So, eventually she will see it hanging in my den.
