How much mRNA is in it? Does it sterilize kids or turn them into transgendered degenerates?
A human-appropriate diet would fix this.
Have you seen what schools feed kids nowadays? And what their parents buy?
Another one of the drugs that have savings and deals for patients with commercial insurance. NO DEALS if you are on MEDICARE. THANK YOUR CONGRESS IDIOTS FOR THAT.
I’m sure Congress gets all these high priced meds for next to nothing, but if you are retired on Medicare NO DEAL. PERIOD.
How about exercise and eat healthy?…
Just do the Michael Moore Diet.
Seeing this intrigued me about trying to ask for it to lose weight. But seeing that one puts the weight right back on once the drug is stopped reminds me that one has to learn to eat right and exercise, not use pills.
The only “magic” weight loss product for children is exercise and a low carb, low sugar diet. The magic pill will probably cause problems that will not be known for several years and once discovered you will see the advertisements from the attorneys telling you that if you were prescribed “Wegovy” as a child, then you probably can recover money for your injuries.
So we're all paying $1,349.02 to provide the drug to anyone for their $15 insurance deductible?
I believe Wegovy use requires scheduled injections into the tummy.
That’s not going to be easy for the average child to tolerate for very long. They may take that to mean they are “sick” with a disease.
I know a gal who used this drug for weight loss and she looks like a different person. I’m interested but I’ve read there’s a shortage for folks who really need it (not for weight loss) because all the dieters are getting prescriptions.
Unconscionable. Drugs for children?
There’s zero reason for children to get fat. All they have to do is eat right and exercise. Playing outside is usually enough.
Several years ago, I was in a grocery store watching dumbfounded as an obese mom drove her even more obese six-year-old down the aisle in a big cart. Every time he passed jelly or cookies or other fattening junk, he shrieked and she bought two of them. The shrieking never stopped. How about that for conditioning a child to be a failure?
It would take a doctor and three nurses to shove a weight-loss pill down the throats of these morbidly obese people/
Childhood obesity is a problem but drugs aren’t the solution.
In this case, it has worked for me. I’ve lost over 60 pounds since I started taking it as Ozempic, without trying to lose weight. I plateued for a year or so, then my doctor upped my dose and I’ve started losing weight again.
The stuff kills your appetite - I eat a little and I’m full.
A1C staying around 7 and I have not noticed any adverse effects. I, too, am skeptical of any claims made for a medicine since the clot shots were pushed on us to reduce the population. Don’t trust a word they say, including “and” and “the”. but semiglutide seems to work for me.
Low-dose naltrexone (LDN) + bupropion can do the same thing without the cost, controversy or need for clinic visits. I’m not obese and am taking these for a different reason, but am losing weight quite noticeably and without any effort. At least one other FReeper is taking the combo as well.
What it sounds like is that you are stuck (pun intended) on this drug for life. That’s great news for the companies that make it, at over $16K/year.
Other than getting fat again, what are the long term consequences of quitting the shots? Withdrawal/psychological problems?
Couldn't they have named it WeLoveTheGovy?
Ha... exactly the same thing they said about “the vaccines”.
Interesting. On the Wegovy website it states this:
It is not known if Wegovy™ is safe and effective for use in children under 18 years of age.
