Do we know what kind of weight loss ? i.e. muscle vs fat ? Is it injected because an oral version would be even crappier ? Looking forward to Pt 2, I've heard there is something called 'ozempic face' which perhaps implies muscle loss. I just took a look on reddit re. Ozempic, it's very topical.
Thank you for this fantastic overview, Robyn; looking forward to parts two and three.
While not the main point of the article, thank you for pointing out the utter ridiculousness of the TGA (again!) regarding their claims about being unable to dictate the prescribing habits of doctors in this case when they did this egregiously with ivermectin during covid. I was recently researching semaglutide on behalf of a loved one with T2DM whose doctor had suggested commencing the drug, and I was staggered to see this completely contradictory claim. To be clear, I'm not advocating for this type of control of off-label prescribing, just enraged by the blatant lie the TGA is telling here.
Thank you, thank you for taking the time to research and write this article. I have a staff member who I am trying to wake up to the Pharma control of medicine. Unfortunately she is not listening and started on these drugs last year. I have so many patients taking them as well and the weight loss they have experienced has blinded them to any possibility that there could be long term side effects from signing up to be part of this experiment.
Good stuff, Robyn. I like that you gave “mechanism of action.” But, it raises a couple of questions; why is it called glucagon-like peptide? The hormone glucagon works in opposition to insulin, yet GLP1 increases insulin. And then what is the mechanism of action of insulin going up, yet the result is weight loss, not fat storage? Can’t wait for parts 2&3.
A T2D friend of mine, much like your cousin, was on Ozempic. Luckily, she had a (relatively mild compared to some of the side effects) reaction to Ozempic, so she discontinued it after only taking it a short period of time. Given all the information coming out about this class of meds, she dodged a bullet but she's not happy about it.
How about this plan? Burn more calories than you consume. Get off your backsides and do SERIOUS training. Stop staring at moronic content on your phone and posting garbage searching for affirmation! Pathetic. Searching for the approval of people you don’t know, never will know and are probably doing the same thing you are. Maybe it’s that birds if a feather thing? People are lazy! Take a pill and let magic happen? Not to mention how brilliant a decision you’re making by ingesting DRUGS from the same companies that have been trying to kill you for decades! Great choice! 😉🤨
