Semaglutide: Do the weight loss lawsuits make you second-guess, trying Semaglutide weight loss drugs?

[Anonymous]

“Dec 8 (Reuters) - A Louisiana federal judge on Friday largely rejected Novo Nordisk’s bid to dismiss one of the earliest lawsuits brought against the pharmaceutical company over side effects of its blockbuster drug Ozempic.”

Is Semaglutide Okay?
Ozempic Lawsuit



“People have taken legal action against the makers of Ozempic, one of the most popular diabetes and weight loss drugs on the market. This follows recent complaints from individuals who used this drug to manage Type 2 diabetes and promote weight loss. Some individuals we talked to complained of serious stomach complications resulting from regular use of this drug…. many other Ozempic lawsuits filed by people who have experienced the ….side effects or something similar.”

Are you mad your insurance doesn’t pay for it? What’s your real concern, concern troll?

NP here. Every person who questions the overuse of these new drugs to not have to be bitter trolls. We all know the other shoe is going to drop. This cannot be healthy. We all need to stop talking about "food noise," and just take responsibility for our health by making good choices. Trust me, I struggle every day. I am not in the overweight category, but close and gained a lot of weight, binge eating and drinking too much during the pandemic. Now I am sadly paying the price and controlling my binge eating on my own. It can be done. It's very hard. But there is no way that starving yourself through drugs, while losing muscle, is healthy.

I think the good thing is there are a lot of alternate treatments for people with obesity and/or diabetes, and pretty good transparency about these side effects. This isn’t new stuff, it was reported. So you should be able to make a pretty informed decision with your doctor and you can easily say no and pick a different treatment even if you’re just wary. So I’m not sure there’s a problem here for people deciding if they want to take it or not. They can also choose to wait and watch these lawsuits if they want, right?

But if you’re not taking it, what’s your concern?

The old adage if something appears to be too good to be true it probably is. It’s just too easy with Semaglutide….

Unless you’re on it, how do you know it’s “too easy”? These drugs have been around for a decade and aren’t magic. You still have to diet and exercise.

So tired of people who are "almost overweight" thinking they know anything about chronic obesity and the people who have tried every weight loss plan ever, for decades.

I wish you could get an rx for MYOB.

Semaglutides are not stimulants.

DP. I think these meds are an amazing innovation for people with chronic obesity and diabetes. The problem is the trend of people who don’t need them getting them. That means the risk-benefit profile doesn’t add up. As well, the companies and doctors are not disclosing the risks well enough. There should be a LOT more gatekeeping for these meds.

Spoken like someone who has no idea.

I just don’t understand why anyone not taking it would be stressed about it.

I’m not stressed about people taking lexapro off label for anxiety, because I’m not a doctor and I’m not taking it. I don’t have any opinion on the medical implications of taking it nor the morality of not meditating instead. Why would I? People are so weird about weight.

Who are you to decide who needs what medication? And why is someone else’s risk-benefit calculation any of your business? Why do you think you are the gatekeeper?

Why are people so weird about other peoples’ health decisions that have zero impact on them. It is SO weird.
