- azan_ 3y agoDrugs for complications of obesity (including type 2 diabetes) also need to be taken forever.
- matwood 3y agoPeople already take all sorts of drugs forever, and it's only designer today. There are other similar drugs in development, so cost will come down. Drugs like Ozempic don't just work on obesity, but they look like they may also work on addiction in general. There's also the second order healthcare costs of obesity that people don't think about - knee replacements for example. I think you're underestimating how much money would be saved in healthcare by reducing obesity rates.
