GLP-1 the wonder drug.

[Saint_Ann]

Are you on it? Insurance cover it? What's it costing you? Is it working? Are you concerned about side effects?

The pharmaceutical industry, led by Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly, is projected to generate over $100 billion to $180 billion annually from GLP-1 drugs by 2030–2034. Some estimates suggest cumulative revenue could reach $470 billion by 2030. These, including Ozempic, Wegovy, and Zepbound, are set to become some of the best-selling drugs in history.

Makes viagra seem puny. Lol.

What does it do?

 

[ll74]

From what I've seen it's extremely effective in suppressing appetite, which leads to weight loss just by lowering calorie intake.

What does it do?

I believe it suppresses insulin production.

There are a lot more fat people than limp dick people. Lol.

Are there?

 

[Saint_Ann]

Medicare won't cover it so you fat geriatrics can suck it. Lol.

Are there?

Do the math.

Save yourself a boatload of money and have your jaw wired shut. That's also better than being a big pharma guinea pig for the next decade.

Or, you know, just stop eating fast food, processed sugar, and carbs. It takes about 3-5 days and you'll stop the cravings and start to lose weight. Without needing to increase your exercise level.

 

[ll74]

Do the math.

That would require data. The little blue pill has moved to generic while the GLPs are still proprietary.

I've heard if you stop you come back twice as big.

Yikes!

You do understand that those are just side effects that have been observed in rare cases, correct?

 

[Wilson23]

I believe it suppresses insulin production.

Sounds like it CAUSES diabetes.

 

[Saint_Ann]

That would require data. The little blue pill has moved to generic while the GLPs are still proprietary.

That doesn't effect potential users.

 

[Wilson23]

Do NOT ask your doctor if GLP-1 is right for you -- if it is, your doctor will think of that first.

 

[Saint_Ann]

You do understand that those are just side effects that have been observed in rare cases, correct.

Unless you're the rare case.

 

[ll74]

Of course it does. When prices are lowered, the amount of money you get from it is also lowered

I have a script. I can't afford to fill it. Lol.

 

[ll74]

Unless you're the rare case.

Then they'll move you to a different drug. That's how medicine works.

 

[HisArpy]

I've heard if you stop you come back twice as big.

It's still too new to have any real world data on what happens if you stop but most people understand that once you start on it, you'll probably be on it forever because you haven't changed your shitty eating habits at all.

As for me, I hate taking pills, even taking my daily vitamin suck dog balls, so ain't no forking way I'd go the Ozempic route when cutting calories and going Paleo works perfectly.

 

[Saint_Ann]

Of course it does. When prices are lowered, the amount of money you get from it is also lowered

I thought we were comparing the number of patients with limp dicks vs. the number of fat people.

We don't use those groups for scientific comparisons, we use them for porn scenarios.

Like they did with Fen-phen after it was too late.
