Goaty Posted October 15 Posted October 15 32 minutes ago, Jack! said: 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. Mounjaro does not have the same active ingredient as Ozempic and Wegovy. Mounjaro is tirzepatide while the other two are semaglutide

perfect blue Posted October 15 Posted October 15 1 hour ago, Space Cowboy said: 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. 1. It is a weight loss drug. The active compound in Ozempic (semaglutide) has been approved as a weightloss-only drug called Wegovy. 2. Type 2 diabetics (the only type of diabetes this medication treats) are usually lazy fatties who ate themselves into this medical condition. 3. Obesity is a complex disease with many different causes. Why would someone with Type 2 diabetes pass your shitty litmus test to qualify for Ozempic, but someone with Binge Eating Disorder not? You don't get to call the shots.
Hephaestus Posted October 15 Posted October 15 And when they book Kitty Scott-Claus to do the promo then what?
brraap Posted October 15 Posted October 15 So instead of opening up new jobs, introduce a drug to people because they're fat? 2
BOOMBAYAH Posted October 15 Posted October 15 4 hours ago, Burn said: 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. A free weight loss drug that's basically been promoted by half of Hollywood for the past year? People will be running to get a prescription lol

Ozempic is for diabetes On 10/15/2024 at 12:06 PM, Subzero said: 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 Semaglutide is approved for weight loss. Wegovy and Ozempic are both commercial names of semaglutide.

CallumDavies Posted October 17 Posted October 17 There isn't a shortage of this drug anymore. The huge increase in demand has led to investment in manufacturing which has then increased supplies. I think we should be happy to apply to new advances in science and technology to problems we haven't been able to solve. Obesity is the perfect candidate and these drugs are proven to work.

I don't understand how your dad is having a hard time getting it when anyone with a computer can not only order it but get free trials from a bunch of companies. Sounds like bitterness to me.

Idk, like I said, not very educated on the subject but could be helpful to look more into and not just written off Sure! The gist of this medications is that they mimic a hormone that reduces appetite. In our bodies this hormone has a short effect, whereas this drugs effect lasts up to a week. So less appetite > caloric deficit > weight loss. Reducing abdominal circumference is one of the primal recommendations to prevent diabetes, heart and other diseases, and it also helps with insulin resistance. They also increase the insulin liberation, but that's something harder to explain here since it depends on the diabetes type and other complex things haha. 1
Robert Posted October 17 Posted October 17 That's great to get started but they also need to exercise and eat healthily.
