Cannot trust ANYTHING in this area until funding is separated from potential financial gains.

The study bolsters other research that found GLP-1 medications aid in the treatment and prevention of Alzheimer’s disease by reducing inflammation

Dieting and losing weight does the same think with out taking a new expensive questionable drug.

Sounds like the “snake oil” sold back in the 1800s. It will cure anything.

In a decade or so you will be seeing commercials from scumbag lawyers wanting to help you if you ever tool a glp-1.

Of course it does everything—because it's a $1000 per month.

This follows the usual pattern. In a few years the drug companies will be paying settlements. But it will be pennies on the dollars they make selling poison.

Nevermind the 40% bone loss and 13% lean muscle loss and thyroid disease.

My best friend’s sister is on one of those drugs and after 2 weeks, had to have an emergency appendectomy. That isn’t uncommon with these drugs but she hadn’t heard of that side effect before starting it.

As of mid 2023, Ozempic was not cleared for weight loss. It’s big brother wegovy was. I know of no changes.

For your consideration.

https://www.drugs.com/medical-answers/ozempic-wegovy-cause-blindness-3578221/

“Yes, there is a potential link between Ozempic and Wegovy (both containing semaglutide) and an increased risk of non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION), a serious eye condition that can lead to blindness.”

It doesn’t happen to everybody by a long shot but to risk blindness for 20lbs seems like a poor deal.

Interesting but because it appears Ozempic is angling for market share against the growing number of competitors. This type of drug is proliferating fast. Victoza was the first of the group nearly 18 years ago. The patents are getting thin as well. When they end and generics become available the blush will be off the rose.
