Wife is due in June and is already complaining about the weight-gain. As a ‘push present’, she’s requesting Ozempic. (I find dietary and exercise discipline cheaper, but each to their own.)
I know Ozempic is in short supply in Australia. Does anybody here have experience getting it supplied? Are there any reliable overseas providers?
Push present? Wtf is this world coming to.
Wife should leave ozempic to the people that need it.
Should try natural ways to lose weight first. Also she should do some research and she will find that breastfeeding burns through calories, she will lose weight IF she sticks to a balanced diet, simple routine changes especially now with baby will burn through calories as well.
Don't go for the easy route straight away as there have been some long term use of ozempic that have caused some issues amongst some users.
As someone said, Ozempic is no longer perscribed for the purpose of weight loss.
Diabetics who actually use it to control their diabetes were struggling to get supplies so the company that makes it released a different version called Wegovy to battle weight loss.
Pretty much the same chemical except since it's not for medical treatment it's a crap ton more expensive.
Seriously any doctor will give this out if she asks for it. I've been on it for a while now and yeah I've dropped a bit of weight but its not some magic cure all drug.
She won’t get ozempic, she will need weygovy. And can you afford $270 a month then it increases to 370 then 470 as you need higher doses.
Better off starting on Mounjaro, as you can easily get 12 weeks out of a pen because the dosing is linear (15mg pen with 5mg dose), down to 8 weeks at 7.5mg dose etc.
Works out to be $230/month for 5mg, still expensive but not ridiculous, just a high up-front price
Tell your wife to leave ozempic for the people who need it, like single people trying to stay f-able
😂 What a time to be alive.
