id imagine that 70% of prescribers are online ozempic clinic docs, I am not sure they are the best counter

What about people with thyroid problems or insulin resistance?


They keep their genetics in the refrigerator with candy bars, ice cream, and 3 liter cokes.

I'm skeptical that something so effective (and I, like I'm sure many here have seen some relatively fat people lose weight quickly on it) doesn't have some big underlying side effects waiting in the future.

But as for loss of muscle mass, it seems like that could be mitigated somewhat with strength training. And I still have to think being a bit of girly-man (in Hanz and Franz voice) is probably better for your health than being a giant lard arse

Also hilarious you think the pharma companies are only getting paid $100 per month for this. If you’re not paying for it via cash, it’s happening via increased premiums etc.

Increased premiums form what? Insurance doesn't cover this unless you have insulin issues. Just stop talking about thinks you clearly know nothing of

Docs make sure insurance covers btw. You obviously don’t know what’s going on.

I don't think the baws weighing in at 450lbs are worried about their muscle mass. I think they're just trying to fit through their doors.

Anyone who thinks there's a magic pill that makes you lose weight without any repercussions are the same people that would pop Oxy's constantly and say that they're not addictive because a doctor said so.


We'll see what the side effects are but the initial studies on these peptides show concerning deteriorating in muscle and ligaments.

There are no free rides.

Neato, my wife is also in medicine as is all of my immediate family. Any other irrelevant info you'd like to share?

That drug is absolutely wild. Know a chick who was pretty attractive a little thicc who has been working out a ton in combination with taking this and her weight loss just over the last 2 months has been insane. Went from a 7 to a 8.5 since July.
