I don’t want to come across as snarky or anything, so please don’t take it that way. I’m just trying to help. It was originally prescribed to type two diabetics and they realized later it caused weight loss and then recently took off as a trendy weight loss drug. It’s being hyped everywhere from social media, celebs, ads on tv but they don’t talk about how destructive it is. So I’m just trying to lay it out there.

Its a very expensive “starvation diet” drug. It’s a weekly injection for life. If the person loses weight and then stops taking it, all the weight will rapidly come back-plus. It has not been tested completely- everyone on it now are part of an “after market research study.” They are the test subjects. They do not know the long term effects/ damage it does to the body, esp pancreas, digestive system, frequent stomach paralysis which could be permanent and there is a link to thyroid cancer. It increases suicidal ideation. There is the usual list of other side effects but what it does that is alarming is causes the food to rot in the person’s stomach. It causes the stomach to not empty at a normal rate making them feel full. Meanwhile, that steak sandwich is rotting. Not being digested. For days and sometimes weeks. What could go wrong?

It never addresses the person’s dietary habits. They say you can eat, drink whatever you want and still lose weight. It just makes you puke if you eat more than two bites. Your metabolic profile and nutritional status will probably worsen after taking it. Most people taking it lose 40-75% of their muscle mass and if you’re over 50, it is extremely difficult to get it back. Now you’re thin but have no strength, esp in the gluteal muscles which are vital to mobility. Ozempic butt is a thing!! But in all seriousness- you need your muscles. This is probably the most disturbing thing (imho) about this drug. They are going to cause people to be weaker, frail, in terrible conditional overall. Yes, thin. But like this couple I know- they drink alcohol now and rarely eat. That’s it. They get nauseous if they eat more than a few bites.

It’s just like so many of the drugs people take to manage a symptom, rather than really address the problem. Big pharma wants us sicker and dependent on more and more drugs. This seems all by design. People won’t change their eating or exercise habits and will be in worse shape than they were before and stuck on it for life unless they want to gain it all back plus. It’s another big pharma scam but this one is bigger than any of the others!!! No exaggeration- this is going to be the biggest money maker in the history of healthcare. Do not take it.
