Another magic pill that people will take forever once they are on it rather than use discipline once they lose the weight and gain it back or better try discipline first and see what happens. Yes, I am aware some people have a hormonal or other issue that affects this effort.

A medical study just came out that claims those who STOP taking Ozempic have substantially higher risk factors for heart and blood vessel diseases and diabetes.

Well, taking a pill forever isn't great, but people who are habitually overweight and haven't been able to lose weight end up taking pills for high blood pressure and other weight-related ailments for life anyway. They also put pressure on their joints, becoming even more sedentary, etc..

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.
