Especially since it can lead to diabetes. I wish people didn't have to turn to a drug to lose weight, but obesity is a (no pun intended) massive problem in the U.S. One of the big problems in our healthcare system is preventative medicine is not even considered a thing by insurance most of the time. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] JovialMicrobial@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago Also certain psych meds can cause weight gain that is incredibly hard to lose if the person needs to stay on it to remain stable. I can see ozempic helping those folks, especially since meds like abilify can increase the risk of developing diabetes. It's a shitty side effect, one that doctors seem to shrug off, but it really matters to the patients and it often really bothers them. permalink fedilink source parent
