Although the Food and Drug Administration approved semaglutide in 2017, interest in the drug has surged only recently after a number of viral social media posts touted the drug as"Hollywood's worst kept secret," among other claims. The"Ozempic" hashtag has racked up 622 million views on TikTok.
The off-label use of semaglutide, spurred by social media posts, led to a shortage of the drug for most of last year.

Obesity prevalence rose from 30.5% from the 1999-2000 period to 41.9% for 2017 through March 2020, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The prevalence of severe obesity surged from 4.7% to 9.2% for the same periods.

Sure, he can talk the talk, but he totally stumbles and fails when it's time to walk the walk.
So much for watching what you eat
Weight Watchers and exercise are perfect tools for weight loss. Doctors are too scared to tell their patients in order to lose weight, one must follow a healthy diet plan and exercise. With an organic diet, Tabata, kickboxing and Muay Thai, I lost weight and feel fabulous.
Guaranteed the price of Ozempic will soar to the $Thousands
Ozempic is for sick people, not the lazy
