Everyone I know that used it, regained their weight back when they stopped.
It wasn’t meant for weight loss when they were developing it. It is a diabetic drug.
It might also be great for people who need help losing weight.
Damn fucking farmers too! You''d think by now they'd have made food that you only have to eat once and then it works to fuel you forever! It's all a big scam!
And diabetic or heart patients who stops taking their medication dies.
And women who stop taking birth control pills, get pregnant.
Too bad there wasn't a pill that cured stupid.
More like 240 or 250. Best to get your facts straight.
NVO-N is reporting this week, time to take a flyer. I'm in at ~US$127
It costs between $200-300 per month in Canada. Depending on if you buy it from Shoppers or Costco or whatever pharmacy. Legit online pharmacies are often cheaper.
Are you never embarrassed by being fooled by what your outrage-algorithm feeds you? It's no wonder that everyone laughs at your legal opinions when you can't even get something like this factual market price within 2 orders of magnitude.
Just google "Ozempic cost in Canada" and there you have it! Simple as you.A disease, not cosmetic
Ozempic costs between $200 and $300 per month in Canada. Its manufacturer, Novo Nordisk, also got Health Canada approval in 2021 for a drug called Wegovy. Ozempic and Wegovy have the identical active ingredient — semaglutide — but Wegovy is a higher dose to specifically treat obesity.

In truth, the price of semaglutide, like Wegovy or Ozempic, may vary depending on your dosage, treatment plan, pharmacy, and whether your insurance covers

What Is the Cost of Ozempic in Canada?
While it will vary from person to person, Ozempic prescriptions generally cost between $200–$300 for a monthly supply (or 4 doses). This medication has to be taken continuously to keep working, so the cost will be ongoing, which can add up to quite a lot.
Well in the US, Ozempic is around $11000/yr, and that's for life. As once you stop taking Ozempic, you gain the weight back, as already said upthread!!
How to pay for promising medications like Ozempic
Steve Haines always loved to go for walks, but exercise had become a nightmare when he was 380 pounds and diabetic. The 49-year-old from Champaign, Illinois, says he would get ulcers on his feet after long walks. About six years ago, Haines’ doctor prescribed Ozempic, a medication approved by...toronto.citynews.ca
It's also cheaper in Bangladesh ($145 USD) and Turkey ($95 USD), So what does that have to do with us here in Canada?
And yes, it is well known that it is a lifetime medication. It was developed to manage Type II diabetes. It is an alternative to other diabetic medications. All of which require lifetime medication. Like INSULIN ffs you political idiot.
Controlling obesity through this medication can reduce developing or lessening co-morbidities like coronary artery disease, hypertension, gout, kidney disease, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and more obesity /metabolic syndrome diseases.... and even more drugs, and more expensive drugs too.
But losers like you are far too aggrieved to see anything good in progress if someone else is making money from it. Think of all the scientists, biologists, and the administrative people who have jobs that are paid by the price of these drugs.
And the reduced burden on our healthcare system resulting from less diabetic and pre-diabetic health problems obese people suffer.
Yes, to a degree. But weight loss and management is quite a complex metabolic process.
Like mental health, obesity is a serious and growing issue facing our health care system. If there are medications that can help, it's less expensive and better for everyone than taking the hard-ass approach. Some of us can eat deep fried fish and chips and not get fat. Some can't eat tuna sandwiches and celery without not being able to lose or keep weight off long term.
This is proven medical science.
Otherwise, matabolic modifying drugs like the semiglutides would not work.
Not necessarily true. If you revert to your former eating habits, yes the weight will come back.
However if somebody learns how to modify their diet and lifestyle there is absolutely no reason why the weight has to return. Ozempic does not change how your body or organs work. All it does is suppress your appetite. A person needs to control what and how much they put into their bodies.
Not exactly. The semaglutides also change the way and order in which your glucagon-like receotors react to regulate insulin spiking, gastric emptying and metabolizingglycogen, it moderates also metabolic processes. It does supress your appetite to some degreee through your brain. But grehlin, another hunger hormone produced by your stomach lining also iis still there. Especially if your stomach pounch has become distended. . Many obese people eat out of habit or routine and appettite supresessants like Phen-Fen and amphetamines lose their effectiveness over time too.
This is a simple compound but has complex mechanisms of action working on metabolic process'.
I proudly admit that I am far from a genius. But I really like to learn, And I love to be wrong. It means I'm still learning. The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
If anything, that recognition makes me a little bit more of a genius.
And that's what I've been saying all along. Weight and body composition is extremely complex. Ever wonder why some skinny asshole can eat Big Macs and fries all day and never gain weight. Yet some girl trying her best with eating vegies, 4 ounce portions of lean meats and exercising still stays chubby despite her hard work and discipline?
Human physiology is incredibly complex.
We are not competing in the Olympics, so 'cheating' with whatever drugs science and BIG BAD BIG PHARMA can do to help should not be dismissed because somebody is making money..
It's actually a simple metabolic process, it's a brutally hard psychological one. This is why people can lose weight, but very few can keep it off long term, because old hobbits die hard.
You don't see any fatties in concentration camps [among those who have been there for a while, the Japanese held POWs or for that matter things like the Minnesota Starvation experiment. People are very bad at judging how many calories they take in, and yeah metabolisms vary both among people and over time but not to the extent that snake oil salesmen that infest youtube would have you believe and even if you have a harsh hand delt in life in that regard, one just has to go harder.
Meh, Ozempic, I'll stick to my Crack, Meth and Heroin stack thank you very much.
WRONG. The drug is totally covered by OHIP. Also, if you are diabetic as my wife is, would you prefer two injections per day every day, or once a day per week? She did lose some weight but very little. The drug semaglutide suppresses your appetite.
Either you are making shit up or your Doctor doesn't know what he is talking about.
I had a 10.1 fasting blood glucose and a H1aC to match, lost 50 pounds by eating less mostly, numbers went back to normal. So 1: You can lose weight with T2 and you don't need meds to control T2 for life.
You did say or in your first statement BTW.
And even if you have thyroid problems, you don't eat, you will lose weight. Your doctor if he does exist sounds like one of thee Jason Fung/Mercola bullshit artists who misrepresent the evidence either because they don't know better or as part of a grift. About half of what Dr Oz says has no evidence to back it up and a 1/6 of what he says the evidence says doesn't work. All three are actual doctors. I know someone who sees a doctor who feeds into her anti vax bullshit.
