It reminds me of accutane in a lot of ways. Some drugs are actually miraculous in how they solve problems, but can have some pretty nasty side effects. I wonder if Ozempic will end up like accutane as the final line of treatment when all other routes have been exhausted, or if the formulation will be refined to the point the side effects become minimal.
One interesting difference between Ozempic and accutane is that the accutane treatment is pretty much permanent after a dosage round but it seems like this Ozempic needs to be continuously taken to see effects. Which is great news for pharm companies
