Wegovy, Mounjaro Regulation Makes No Sense Lol

People say the biggest risk is not eating enough so bile doesn't get used and just stagnates lol

So you gotta eat the right amount — the drug makes you not hungry anyway so you don't even feel like eating, but if you just straight up don't eat anything, obviously that's bad news lol. There's no side-effect-free drug, you gotta use it right. But since you're not hungry and wanna lose weight, people go to extremes and lose hair, get the bile stagnation thing — that's on them for using it wrong

Lmao the funny thing is people crying about this like... if you're struggling with appetite control and got hit with Mounjaro, shouldn't you logically know your own basic metabolic needs and feed yourself? If you just do whatever your body tells you, why even have a brain? You're not some dumb animal just acting on impulses lol just die already

literally why is it so hard to get prescribed these but you can get literally anything else??? the logic is backwards lmao

The pharmaceutical regulation system is genuinely a joke, they're acting like these are controlled substances when people actually need them

The problem is when people who don't even need a prescription — thin people — abuse it. But if they prescribe by BMI standards it shouldn't be an issue lol Funny thing is in Japan you see literal skeleton-thin girls getting Mounjaro lmaoooo that's actual misuse. Korea's getting fatter than Japan these days so more people actually need it.

That ridiculous thing happening in Japan is happening here too. Go check the actual stats. The percentage of severe obesity isn't as high as you think.

That's because the prescription standards were left to doctors' discretion, not BMI-based lol. If you love regulation so much, just regulate the prescription conditions and it's done kkk

"Too many people use it without understanding the basics." You remember what I said earlier? Not sure what you're even talking about, but there's no proprietary pharmaceutical in this world where prescription standards are left to individual judgment. The BMI-standard prescribing you mentioned is already happening. And yet misuse is rampant. Diet drugs are prescribed according to BMI standards recommended by pharma companies and the health ministry — BMI 30+ or 27+ with metabolic diseases like diabetes or hypertension. But because doctors can prescribe off-label, misuse happens. Of course consumers aren't the only ones at fault — doctors selling out their conscience are wrong too. But the important thing isn't assigning blame, it's the shared goal of preventing misuse. Since we can't realistically completely stop misuse, my personal opinion is classifying obesity as a disease and only covering it by insurance for actual patients is cleaner. Then at least doctors would think twice about off-label prescriptions legally and maybe have to close shop. Though honestly that'd bankrupt health insurance quickly... it's a dilemma from every angle.

As someone who waited 6 months for approval I felt this in my soul 😭 meanwhile my friend got antibiotics no questions asked

idk man i think some regulation makes sense but the way they're doing it is confusing af, like pick a lane
