Isn’t it $200/mo vanity drug for regular people (no medical reason for it)?. You can up with bullshit to get it, but even then it’s expensive.

- bicx 1y agoI don’t think weight loss is vanity (assuming that’s what you mean). There are many health issues caused by obesity, and a lot of us end up paying for the advanced medical care (regardless of being obese or not) for obesity-caused illness through increased premiums and taxes to cover high Medicare costs.
- ivape 1y agoI consider obesity a medical condition. By regular people I meant those that let go but are within diet/exercise range (not obese on paper or the eye).
- raincom 1y agoYou can make it for less than $1 per gram. So, it costs about $10 per month.
- sfn42 1y agoAre you suggesting that people manufacture their own pharmaceuticals?
- metalman 1y agothere are serious efforts to do just that, and as bench top chemical anslysis gets cheaper and cheaper there is an inevatabily to the comming availibility of high quality indivualy customised medications that are very inexpensive
- sfn42 1y agoThere already is a community of "amateur" drug manufacturers, and they're not known for consistent quality nor safety.
- raincom 1y agoThey source raw ingredients (chemical, bac water, needles, syringes), have it tested by joining groups for toxins, purity, etc, then mix it up.
- burnt-resistor 1y agoIt's not a vanity drug if you're obese due to genetics or side-effects of other medications. It's myopically arrogant to throw shade with a big brush over fringe cosmetic uses when there's an incredible amount of benefit offered to formerly morbidly-obese individuals and people with seriously decompensated metabolic-associated diabetic conditions. Yes, GLP-1's are absurdly overpriced mostly in America where there are comparatively few healthcare consumer protections.
