Sergi91 Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 The Food and Drug Administration on Wednesdayapproved Zepbound, a new weight loss drug from drugmaker Eli Lilly that was shown in clinical trials to help people lose up to 52 pounds in 16 months. Zepbound is the latest entrant into the field of powerful new drugs that already includes Novo Nordisk's Ozempic and Wegovy and Lilly's Mounjaro. The FDA approved the drug for adults with obesity or who are overweight with at least one weight-related condition. In a release, Lilly said Zepbound should be available in the U.S. by the end of the year. It will carry a list price of about $1,060 for a month's supply. In a phase 3 clinical trial, Zepbound led to an average weight loss of 22.5% body weight, or about 52 pounds, surpassing all currently available weight loss medications on the market. The participants in the study had obesity or were overweight with at least one weight-related condition. Source 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also hard to be mobile if you are already so obese or overweight. I agree that people should first find drug-free ways to lose weight, but for some people, exercising (or at least exercising where they're over-exerting themselves to lose weight) is not an option, or exercise alone might not be enough to lose excess weight. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you even exercise? Or do you only run your wind machine shaped self in threads just to say dumb sh*t? Bet you'd love to punish a double oxtail and curry platter right about now. 2 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just got a prescription for one of these. I workout a lot but about to cut. The good thing is because I have so much muscle it puts me over the limit for it. I can get it to lose a quick 25 to 30 pounds to help with crossfit 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sombre Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 Weight loss is not only about CICO. Sometimes there are other factors that affect weight, such as PCOS, insulin resistance, hormone issues and gland issues. Yikes @ $1000 for a month's supply. The state of big pharma companies today is just abysmal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
