Was it wegovy? There is a push now by the AMA to get obese people on it. Even though I think it is in short supply.
I'm not a fan of diet pills and other forms of weight loss medication. I don't think it's wrong to take medication for weight loss. Sometimes a person needs to take them, and that's okay.
My problem is that too often, medication is suggested for weight loss when what most people need is lifestyle changes. The medication often comes with side effects. Plus, many people are taking them for cosmetic purposes.
I could understand if someone something like Wegovy because they need to lose weight for medical reasons, and that's the last stop before surgery. But I see too many stories of people taking stuff and they are otherwise healthy and not very fat at all.
It makes me even madder because doctora have been prescribing things like Ozempic to people who just want to shed a few tens of pounds while diabetics are needing to ration their life saving medication.
But that's just my two cents.
