Thank you for reporting the facts about this medication. I have been curious about when someone would speak up to inform the public once again, there is no quick fix to weight loss. Over my lifetime I’ve seen miracle drugs for weight loss come and go. Some people get rich some people get sick and die. Can’t believe Oprah is advocating for this.
It’s for diabetes. Stop hoarding it for weight loss.
PEOPLE ARE LOSING WEIGHT BECAUSE OZEMPIC HAS GILA MONSTER LIZARD VENOM WHICH IS DEADLIER THAN A WESTERN DIAMOND BACK SNAKE
Prescribing this for minimal weight loss sounds irresponsible and reckless considering the side effects and drug shortage. For many of us that are substantially overweight, though we are not type 2 yet, it’s headed that way. I’m hoping a very low dose of this will help me lose my initial 50 lbs and give me the support I need to make lifestyle changes and get some pressure off my joints so exercising doesn’t hurt so much.
Good, better, best. Never let it rest, t'il the good is better and the better is the best.😂
I stopped no problems
I can't get a straight answer for my scenario. I'm type 2, 62 years old, obese, and while taking Victoza, I didn't lose any weight, just maintained, which wasn't good for as much as I have to lose. The problem now, the shortage, has made it so I can't get the Victoza, and so my blood sugars jumped after having to go off of it suddenly due to this shortage. It's not a shortage (supply & demand), and they are just wanting more $$$, so Insurance companies probably don't want to have to pay out. The pharmacy had 2 pens, I could have gotten, but they wanted $500.+ for just 2 pens. I don't have that kind of money, so I have to find another way to drop my sugars. I guess, desperate times, call for desperate measures. Wish me luck.
So unreal the “ fda” says no prob to all the poison in usa what a total waste of tax payers money . Worse than sending billions to terrorists for humanitarian aid that they just sell for pipes to make rockets and use it to barter for weapons disregarding their “ people “
This medication is made from snake venom. Check outthe Health Rangers interview from March where he and a guest discussed this drug!
It is insane that people take this to lose 20 pounds. Get out amd walk. Leave this medicine for the uses it was nade for.
Pharmaceutical God's are out to side effect you to death.
If you dont want to be fat then stop over eating. Practice some self control.
Title should be "What COULD Happen…"
I used for my platoo last 10pounds it worked sooo amazing, 2mo.. then I stop and I never gain back my weight ( however I learn that I can survive with 1 light meal per day and 1 protein shake coffee/tea/ water body doesn’t need much) I’m sure the grocery stores are furious with this new regimen..
Hgpo
Intermittent fasting is free
Irreversible damage from this drug and lapband surgery. These methods are all good at first but a few short years later you'll have Irreversible side effects. Better off being overweight and more healthy abd happy.
How to lose weight:
Go back in time and eat bowls of high fiber cereal from cereal dispensers placed in your public school cafeteria, with free cereal, all day long.
It's the same thing as the folks who use nicotine to lose weight. It will always come back to bite you in the ass.
I stopped and I’ve gained 16 pounds in 6 weeks! I’m hungry way more than I was before. Please be careful.
All chronicle disease are the results of a bad life style. Simply eat less and exercise 45 min per day, and you will find you can lose weight, reduce blood pressure, and increase insulin sensitivity.
This drug should be reserved for diabetics..
PERIOD!
The DIABETIC patients should be placed on METFORMIN first a long proven safe and effective med.
For all the hollyweird nuts that are taking OZEMPIC for weightloss and VANITY, you are damaging your health.
It has been proven the drug deteriorates muscle mass among other serious side effects.
