While I’ve know some people experience more severe GI issues or nausea with the drug, this is quite the exaggeration. A drug that made it difficult or impossible to actually consume enough food to survive (more than “two bites”) would be wildly unsafe to prescribe.
- hungryforcodes 4y agoNot at all short term. This is EXACTLY what fasting is. In fact a pill you could take in the morning that would suppress your appetite for 24 hours would be fantastic. You could use it three days a week with no ill effects and loose weight.
- drewbug01 4y agoTrue. The comment I was replying to was talking about Mounjaro, which is a weekly injectable - and thus no way to do it for only three days a week. In that context, if Mounjaro made it impossible to eat to the degree the commenter described, it would be wildly unsafe (because of how long each shot lasts).
- LazyMans 4y agoThe first three days were like this.
- me-vs-cat 4y agoThis is not an exaggeration for my wife. For a full day after taking her weekly shot, she eats about 2 bites per meal.
