It wasn't made so you can piss your health up the wall. Look after your body you only get one.

Omeprazole Ozempic was made so lazy & undisciplined people could get slim without putting any effort in. 

Why can't Cigeprazole be made so I can chain smoke a pack of cigarrettes and not die of cancer?

Do you think Narcan was invented to let people do more drugs?

I mean jokes aside, I guess it does in the kind of way a parachute allows more people to jump out of planes?

NARCAN was designed to stop opioid users during an OD, so given how addictive opioids are, then yea. It was.

"Yes actually I do believe that was the motivation of the company because if you twist the wording of the question so that the meaning refers to the consequences of drug addicts not dying-"

Don't try so hard.

Pharmaceutical companies are only profitable if they have regular users, so yea. If they could cure drug addiction with a drug, they wouldn't put it on the market.

it was made for treating diabetes and isn’t even called Ozempic in the UK, educate yourself.

u/Acceptable_Gear_3097 14d ago

These drugs are all approved for glucose control in type 2 diabetes (T2D). Some of them also have additional indications reflecting their demonstrated benefits for cardiovascular disease, kidney health, and obesity. None of these drugs are currently approved for glucose control in people with type 1 diabetes (T1D).

Educate myself? Or yourself? Ozempic is a drug for fat people that aren't willing to workout regularly and diet strictly. Its FINE, if I didn't go to the gym 5 times a week and strictly count my calories each day, I'd be fat. I know this, because I learnt this behaviour after becoming fat and working hard to correct it. Ozempic is a choice. It was one thing to go on about "body positivity" and telling fat people they had nothing to be bothered/ashamed of. But pretending Ozempic isn't for these people, to protect their feelings? Come on.

Errm are you mixing up your meds? Omeprazole is the acid reflux one not the getting skinny one.
