If Serena Williams needed a GLP1, what hope do I have?

+1. These are incredible drugs (and I am glad you can use them) but the misuse is bonkers. I suppose there was never really any way to prevent it though.

Actually, I can’t think of any other prescription medication that is so easy to obtain as glp-1’s. So whatever protocols are in place to ensure that people who don’t need high blood pressure meds, etc are in place seem to be missing with this one.

I’d have a harder time getting a pair of eyeglasses (which are necessary for those with impaired vision and essentially harmless for those who don’t) without an in person doctor visit than I would a glp-1.

Tretinoin. This is what started ALL of the online med/pharmacies. People trying to get their hands on Tretinoin.

Basically there is money in anti-aging, anti-obesity products. There isn’t the same money in blood pressure medication or eyeglasses

Anything new with a monopoly makes a lot of money. Glasses were a huge profit until Chinese competition was feasible to break Luxottica's monopoly .

Serena Williams is taking medication to lose weight because her husband invested in the company. She’s a paid spokesperson.

I don't know anyone who maintains a normal weight without a GLP.

Do you mean any celebrities? I know plenty of normal people who maintain normal weight, but it seems many female celebrities are taking GLP1’s, many who don’t need it. I recently saw photos of Mandy Moore on some beach vacation and she looked terrifyingly thin/anorexic. These celebs who already had thin bodies, are now taking the GLP1 to easily get thinner. It’s really disturbing. I hope this doesn’t become the new standard of beauty for young girls or women in general.

Standards of beauty are set by younger people. I’m skeptical they want to look like frail 40-50 years olds

Serena Williams isn't frail, and skinny young people are frail.

No one wants blood pressure meds before a doctor tells them they have high blood pressure. Some people need them.

Glasses are highly personalized and customized. Glasses are cheap and easy to get, but you need a good fitting from an optometrist.

GLP is one size fits all, and cosmetic, so high demand and easy access, with pricing set by supply and demand.

Minoxodil, Cialis/Viagra, Triretinoin, all the cosmetic and fun drugs are easy to get online. Even marijuana is very easy to get online, despite being illegal.

The comments about glasses are bs. People can figure that out on their own and there is no biological reason to force people to get a new perscription every year. Most people's eyes don't change. It's a racquet.

I still fail to see what the problem is with adults using these drugs to lose 10 pounds (if that’s what they’re aiming for). How is this different than a 25-year old deciding to get Botox? To each their own.

They are totally completely different from Botox.

Not really. There is just so much hate towards overweight people that it carries over to the anti glp group. You love hating fat people and now that might be taken away from you.

Right - so then there should have been more avenues of access. There weren’t. At one SSRIs were over a billion dollar market. There was not the same kind of access.

You have that exactly wrong. The use of GLPs by normal weight women is an amplification of fat phobia.

I actually think Mandy Moore looks great.

Let's put an end to the thin or nothing mentality ....stop reinforcing exercise and eating disorders or disordered behaviors.
I was at a meal yesterday and a ob/gyn said he prescribed Wegovy for a patient at 5 feet 8, 220, who lost 100 pounds.....she is now too thin for her height, had surgery to remove skin. He was so proud of himself. He didn't offer mental health support before beginning any weight loss program, nor did her offer nutritional support ........so the system is all messed up.

I was talking about Mandy Moore. Plus everyone knows Serena built her physique prior to the GLP1 use.
