When you say "tons of people", do you mean 2 people?

There are a ton of people on these drugs (15% of US) through generics. Not sure what you mean

I was making a joke about the OP's use of the term "tons of people"

I guess some people will have to resort to good old fashioned discipline

Wait I'm confused. People will no longer be able to get them cheap at all now? Why wouldn't they still be able to get

Because the patent holder doesn't want to sell it cheap

15% of Americans have taken a GLP-1 for weight loss so this certainly effects

It's nuts that it's this widely used. 98 millions pre-diabetics according to CDC

So it can be laced with fentanyl?

Compounded GLP-1s are eventually going away, but they'll be around for a while after those dates

The Ozempic patent runs out in 2026

Patents suck

It's not super common for a popular/profitable drug to come off patent at 7 yrs

cougfanz

That's the patent in China, which the Chinese government has already ruled that the patent is invalid

Skeptical Optimist

That makes more sense.

Miracle drug class on so many levels and eventually the competition will drive
