[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is there so much hate on GLP-1s? If someone wants to lose weight for vanity purposes or health purposes, why do people care? Yes, body acceptance and all that other crap…blah blah blah, but the reality is, most people want to be thin. I really don’t see the problem with her or anyone else taking these meds, regardless of their reasons (financial incentives, vanity issues, health, etc.).[/quote] Or to make money by duping pathetic middle aged women into thinking that with $500/month, they too could look like Serena Williams on a bad day. -GLP-1 user under medical supervision due to obesity[/quote] +1. These are incredible drugs (and I am glad you can use them) but the misuse is bonkers. [b]I suppose there was never really any way to prevent it though[/b]. [/quote] [b]Actually, I can’t think of any other prescription medication that is so easy to obtain as glp-1’s. [/b]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. [/quote] Tretinoin. This is what started ALL of the online med/pharmacies. People trying to get their hands on Tretinoin.[/quote] Basically there is money in anti-aging, anti-obesity products. There isn’t the same money in blood pressure medication or eyeglasses[/quote] 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 . [/quote] 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.[/quote]
