Ozempic und Wegovy: Mehr gefälschte Rezepte für Abnehmspritzen
Abnehmspritzen sind zu regelrechten Lifestyle-Produkten geworden. Der Hype um Produkte wie Ozempic und der hohe Preis rufen auch Kriminelle auf den Plan, die gefälschte Rezepte verkaufen.
“Am I the last fat person in America?” asks @damemagazine’s Kate Bernyk. She writes about the rise of weight-loss drugs like Ozempic, the message that delivers to fat people — ”Your body is a mistake, and now there’s finally a way to fix it,” — and why she doesn’t want to take medication to change her size. “The idea of eliminating any kind of body should terrify us — not just because it’s wrong, but because it’s unimaginative,” she writes.

@CindyWeinstein “a friend of mine” is what you call yourself when you don’t want to admit you are taking #Ozempic
Society is pretty fucked really, always wanting to see someone suffer, isn't it?

Lilly licensed orforglipron from Chugai in 2018.

The problem with the WARNING is that because of PBMs these #counterfeit products get distributed by pharmacies.
I don’t remember if it’s retail pharmacies or facility pharmacies where this kept happening, but there was a PBS Frontline documentary about how PBMs cause counterfeit medication to appear in legitimate supply chains.
So how would any of us know??

New Review and Meta-Analysis confirms weight gain with discontinuance of #Semaglutide and #Tirzepatide
Discontinuing GLP1 medications led to a pooled overall mean weight regain of 9.69 kg (or about 22 lbs in patients prescribed semaglutide/tirzepatide. The proportion of weight regained was proportional to the amount originally lost.
Discontinuation of GLP-1RA treatment leads to weight regain, regardless of lifestyle interventions, and should therefore be considered a chronic therapy to prevent weight regain and associated undesirable outcomes related to #Obesity.

Hoe afslankmedicijnen het hele lichaam veranderen: ‘Mijn hoofd roept niet meer om eten’
Tsja, heb toch altijd de scepsis met wondermiddelen dat er ergens een vervelend randje aan zit waar we later achter komen...
»Und #Semaglutid ist der neue Schlüssel. Der von dicken Menschen, die sich das Hilfsmittel noch nicht leisten können, mit #Ozempic Shaming geneidet wird. Und von den mühelos Schlanken, die sich jetzt um Macht und Exklusivität sorgen, mit Ozempic Shaming als unnatürlich gebrandmarkt und bekämpft.«

GLP-1s Are Crazy Effective — Just Not Cost-Effective
I’ll make the argument that the most effective drugs in the past decade are the GLP-1 receptor agonists, drugs like semaglutide and tirzepatide. At least in terms of weight loss, they are truly unparalleled. They are clearly effective. But are they worth it? Are they cost-effective? That is a much harder question, and, as you’ll see in a minute, despite their amazing effects, the answer — for now, at least — is no.

As someone actively on a GLP-1 as a diabetic, this explainer around the economics of these drugs is both fascinating & maddening.
