UK weight loss drug bust...scary?

[Pep_552]

I say 'pin' to avoid drawing unwanted attention.

 

[Pep_552]

Same as in the UK?

I figured "injection" was a universal term. Guess not!

 

[RetaGo633]

I like to say: hammering, pinning, pushing!

 

[RetaGo633]

It's like when I call orals "muscle candies".

It's from the 2020 vax days.... News services use "jab" because they want to connect with their audience. Annoying.

 

[Great]

Sticking, poking, and hitting come to mind ...

 

[Val_1994]

We say "shot". That's kind of weird too.

It's reported as mg/ml, so if the pen had 2ml, it would be correctly dosed.

 

[Peptide_Bro]

Oh, fair point. Can't tell from the box.

Guys, have you seen this about the FDA cracking down on compounding pharmacies? They're asking for comments right now to defend access to them: https://www.regulations.gov/searchResults?rpp=25&po=0&s=compounding+pharmacies&fp=true&ns=true

 

[Pep_552]

@Nurse_Great Thanks for the heads up! It's so important to protect access to compounded meds. It could lead people to unsafe stuff if they restrict it too much.

 

[Light_Life]

It's concerning that regulators are getting involved. It might be more about money than safety, if you catch my meaning. I hope quality compounding pharmacies like those in my area can keep operating.

Didn't Denmark just have a huge economic boom because of those weight loss drugs? I saw something about it.

Yeah I heard the same thing. Ozempic is making them rich!

there's a big difference between appetite suppression and actually dropping weight. not the same thing at all.

when you're carrying extra weight, stretchy clothes hide the progress. i've lost 50 and only now switching to tighter leggings. new clothes in smaller sizes = your mirror finally shows the real change.

my doctor sees me once yearly otherwise random nurse practitioners. mentioned getting my prescription online and they just smiled. they see the same ads we do.

A study said patients on one version had five times higher odds of that eye issue versus the diabetes form. But men had three times higher risk than women. Why would one cause it but not the other? The speed of dosing seems different but I'm confused on the actual formulation difference.

I can't get past the ick factor. Hit the site once, get flooded with vendor emails for three days. Beyond Care seems legit though, bunch of products. There's a thread here if you wanna dig.
