Gotta love people taking drugs from others that actually need them. The off label use here should be seriously looked into.

Then why isn't production increased?

It's not like the hype is new, manufacturers just didn't keep up. Whether stupidity or intent, I don't know.

You are correct that it's the drug company at fault here too, not just the public. It's also the fault of doctors that are continuing to prescribe it off-label for weight loss.

The drug company knows exactly what it's doing here - I came out Barbie the other day and there's a fucking Ozempic ad besides the theatre inside the Famous Players.
