prettyinpink940 Posted October 15 Posted October 15 I'm not British, nor obese or unemployed, but I would love to get ozempic. 1 5

Space Cowboy Posted October 15 Posted October 15 Ozempic is not a weight loss drug. It's a medication for diabetes. My diabetic father and many others who genuinely need Ozempic are having difficulty accessing it because many lazy fatties are using it for weight loss instead of dieting or working out. I don't respect anyone who uses Ozempic to lose weight. 3 1

Gelato Posted October 15 Posted October 15 A drug company is paying for it as part of a trial https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/crej4xpx2dvo 1

Arrows Posted October 15 Posted October 15 Why all this talk about Ozempic when Wegovey is the actual weight-loss drug? Ozempic is for diabetes
Cheers Posted October 15 Posted October 15 There's going to be no high calorie individuals in the world in like 5 years 1
Thin White Duke Posted October 15 Posted October 15 So dumb. Maybe just teach your country's children to eat healthy? Giving people a pill to lose weight ain't going to change their bad diet habits.
Burn Posted October 15 Posted October 15 But how are they going to persuade people to use it? The government is right for wanting to get these people back into the workforce, but you can't force someone to take a drug they may not be comfortable with. Some people will be but there will be others who are hesitant.

Ozempic is for diabetes The drug is the same. It's just that multiple brands are licensed to use it for different usages. Mounjaro is another brand of semaglutide and it was recently licensed for use as weight loss assistance and it'll likely be used in this trial too. But the active ingredient in Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro are the same. Edited October 15 by Jack! 2 1

Good for you ladies! 2
Subzero Posted October 15 Posted October 15 On one hand this isn't a good idea because from what I've seen this medicine isn't meant for weight loss but for diabetes and those people need this more, I get that and we should have that take priority. On the other hand it can be a good idea, but only if you're going to simultaneously make these people go to a nutritionist and learning how to eat well/exercise/manage their diets and put into practice while they lose the weight. It's pointless to put someone on a weight loss drug to just lose weight because then what happens when they lose the weight; they continue their bad habits and leads them back to the same place. It's very discouraging to be trying to lose weight and nothing is working, so I get why this would be a plus because it would encourage people to lead healthier lifestyles when they actually see results, but it's gotta be done right and in alignment with learning to take care of yourself. Speaking from personal experience, my mother recently got diagnosed with heart disease and she's been seeing a nutritionist 3 days a week and they have her working out properly and figuring out what foods work for her and have helped her to manage a good diet and with that alone she has seen a big difference and is losing weight. The doctor suggested something similar to Ozempic but is teaching her that you need to have good habits prior to taking something like that and how to live healthier when off of it. It's a tricky subject for everyone because not everyone's body functions/reacts the same to changes but still something to think about and could help people. I'm not a scientist/medical professional so someone correct/inform me, but maybe figure out what it is in this drug that causes weight loss and formulate it to something else so diabetics aren't losing out on important meds. Idk, like I said, not very educated on the subject but could be helpful to look more into and not just written off 1
YouSmellLikeHospital Posted October 15 Posted October 15 One of my coworkers is having trouble getting refills after being on it for a while. I'm going to tell her to move to the UK lol
