[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your friend is probably very insecure about his own weight, and also anxious about trying this drug himself because he's in a position to read about the clinical trial dossiers and post-commercialization reports on severe side effects.

I have to say, as a biologist working in pharma, he's not wrong: some people have died due to complications from slow-moving bowels, and a lot of people taking this drug will realize they can't stop taking it, otherwise the weight will come back. If I had weight issues, I would hesitate to try it too, because I've read some research articles about it that are quite disturbing!

Let's just say it's not the miracle drug people think it is. I hope your husband and sibling are very educated about it and know the limitations of their medication.

I totally disagree. I think it is a miracle drug. 75 percent of Americans are overweight. This drug helps tremendously, with relatively manageable side effects. To ignore that is so short sighted. [/quote]

But people will argue vehemently that you can be fit and fat. Why are we suddenly rushing to use drugs to control weight if it doesn’t matter? [b]Also, let’s see how these lab rats fare in a few years after continued use. [/quote][/b]

You do know it has been studied in lab rats for years, right? It was used for diabetes control [/quote]

Cool. Let’s still check back in a few years and see how everyone is doing.[/quote]

We’ll come back in a few years and see obesity is way down, along with cancers, heart disease, alcohol and drug abuse. Once fully understood these drugs will have big impacts and be widely used.[/quote]

Maybe but again people have been arguing for years that fat isn’t really a problem. I guess that was a big lie.[/quote]
