It must really work, because its popularity cannot be related to the cringe advertising. Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh zempic...
Too bad they can’t make that kind of thing in the United States. Can’t we get China to increase production?
I have type 2 diabetes, I control my blood sugar levels with a low-carb diet, and very effectively. I have thought of taking ozempic so I could eat those carbs again, like potatoes, rice, and bread, but I guess now I am SOL.
Have any of these people tried carnivore or keto diets?
What is SOL?
After hearing the AWFUL “possible” side-effects, I am amazed that ANYONE would bother with any drug that is advertised on TV.
Oddly, at my insurance company pharmacy, they cannot STOP sending me Ozempic.... to the point I have a surplus. It’s the pen-version, injectable.
Very interesting to me is also this: Injections and retrieval of a small finger blood sample is nearly 100% painless. They’ve really done a good job of making things pain-free.
“Blank” outta luck.
Too bad those who are trying to lose weight don’t try other things (paleo diet, exercise) and let the diabetic have their potentially life-saving meds.
“””What is SOL?”””
In medical terms it is referred to as ‘Excrement Outta Luck’.
I never understood why drug companies are allowed to advertise prescription drugs to non-medical people. It causes is people without medical knowledge to go to a doctor and demand a certain med. I have seen people around me do that very thing. Some doctors seem to bow to the pressure just to shut them up. Look at how many buy ED drugs that really want it for recreation not true ED. Weight loss drugs are the similar. Then in a few years it’s followed by lawyers trolling for class action lawsuits.
Or portion control and exercise...?
Ka-ching!
“Sh#t out of luck”
Saw an expose on that drug. The models/elites are using it up at a rate that the diabetics are deprived of it.
But maybe that’s a mercy because SHEESH does that stuff have some nasty side effects, one of which is that when some people go off of it, they gain all the weight back and more. Somehow it defeated the body’s ability to metabolize or burn fuel or something because the weight was back 2x and the hunger pangs made people ravenous.
I visited a family member and they had the tv on.
I saw a commercial for medication for if a man has a bent penis.
I saw a commercial where an ugly, fat black woman hiked up her skirt to show her pee underpants I couldn’t otherwise see.
This was in the middle of the day. Tv is trash…
OK...Sitting here laughing!
Ozempic does a lot of advertising on Newsmax. As soon as I saw this thread, their advertising jingle, set to the tune of Pilot’s 1975 hit song “Magic,” popped into my head.
