Semaglutide has an off-label use as a weight-loss aid. It is effective. However, if you're in the US, it'll cost you like $1000/month because your insurance won't cover it for that reason.
I don't think anywhere has approved it purely for weight loss either, it's just getting some off-label prescriptions, and there was a mini-crisis where 95% of the ozempic prescriptions in North America were being written by a single doctor in Nova Scotia, and then distributed by mail pharmacies across Canada to US buyers.
Thanks
