[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work on drug policy and the only issue I have with it is for those using it off-label for vanity weight loss when the drug is in shortage. Its not really and ethical prescribing decision or use of the drug. Everyone should also be concerned about the prospect of making people somewhat dependent on a very, very expensive drug. I think as a treatment for chronic obesity it’s a very promising solution. I have a problem with it being used for folks that have an extra 10 to 15 to shed that don't want to develop healthier habits or just get comfortable about not being a supermodel. [/quote] I’m taking it off label (I’m prediabetic and obese) and frankly, it’s only in shortage because of the regulatory system. It’s being compounded because of the shortage, but the powers that be have made that market opaque and scary. There’s nothing inherently hard to make or particularly expensive about it. So supply problems are totally up to the system. [/quote]
