Beware “Ozempic Face”

[Anonymous]

The rodents in trials developed thyroid cancer, and most people who have gone off it have mostly gained all the weight back and then some. Good luck to the 'I don't need to diet and exercise, I can just use this drug' crew in the long term.

It hasn’t caused medullary thyroid cancer in humans in the 7 years since Ozempic trials began. Since I’m not a rodent I’m not too worried.

Those of us who are on it for weight loss understand it’s a lifelong medication like any medication that manages a chronic condition, according to all data so far.

Reason enough for me not to take it, thank you.

Most people who have ever lost a large amount of weight have gained all the weight back and then some. What's your point?

They’re soooo mad. So so mad.

They are mad that people are fat?

They're mad that fat people have access to a relatively easy and painless way to be thin.

Remember, there's always a price to be paid when you take a shortcut.

Oooh I'll remember that when I wake up tomorrow and weigh in; if it's anything like the previous 32 weeks, i'll be down another 2 pounds!

OMG you are going to make all of those skinny people jealous! They just can't stop thinking about it 24/7!

Yes, we’re all soooooo jealous of someone who had more than 32 pounds to lose.

lol seriously. I think I have seen this poster around - thin people are mad that fat people can access clothes now, jealous about weight loss drugs, whatever. I am thin and trust me this is not something I spend my time thinking about. I have no reason to be jealous of someone who had 30+ pounds to lose, for any reason. I can enjoy all the foods I want in a reasonable way and don't have to worry about getting fat! I know heavier people are jealous, because I have been told many times "oh I hate you you're so skinny, blah blah" So die mad about it, I guess!

Yet the three of you seem awful triggered by what the PP said about her weight loss. Why is that? If you really didn’t care you’d shrug and move on. Maybe silently be thankful you don’t have to take a drug to be thin. Hell, you probably wouldn’t even be reading this discussion, much less responding at length, if you really didn’t care about people taking Ozempic for weight loss. Methinks the skinnies doth protest too much.

So what happens when you lose enough weight that you are no longer obese and your insurance stops covering it? No snark, serious question

Why would they stop covering a drug that is known to be required life long for a chronic condition?

That's not how it works. Do insurance companies stop covering other drugs because they work? Will they stop paying for chemotherapy because the tumors are shrinking? Do they stop paying for diabetes medication because your A1C becomes normal? Statins because your triglycerides drop?

If my insurance does ever stop covering it for whatever reason that will suck. But I don't foresee that happening soon, and eventually there will be more affordable generics. These drugs will only become more available as time goes on.

Rodents getting the placebo in the study ALSO developed these thyroid cancers
Additionally the monkeys tested did not, and monkeys are more similar to humans

Are Semaglutide and Ozempic the same thing? I'm totally clueless about this.
