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

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

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

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