Exactly. The page of small prints comes with every medication? It lists every bad reaction happened to someone, even if it was less than one in a million. Should we ban all medications?

I don't think anyone is saying ban, just weigh the risks. [/quote]

So, you mean, consult with your physician before starting a medication (which has to be prescribed by a doctor)?[/quote]

Well yeah, if it's a real consult, where if your doctor tells you that your labs are good and you don't need the medication, you're willing to accept that.[/quote]

Interestingly, it was my NP who brought it up to me at 2 different annual physicals 1 year apart. My bmi was like 25.5 and only going up.[/quote]

This didn’t happen. No medical professional is going to push these on you for a BMI of 25 unless your labs are horrible. The people using it at that BMI are using compounded versions that contain - well who the hell knows - in them. That should be the bigger concern, not using the actual prescriptions, but the compounded versions that aren’t as regulated.  [/quote]

I don't object to the compounding. These drugs are off patent or about to go off patent. The objections around compounding or generics are mostly drug companies protecting their profits. FDA oversight doesn't mean the FDA inspects every batch. [/quote]
