I haven’t tried it because of the side effects but i have heard it has great results.

I’ve heard that they have major stock issues at the moment and that it is currently prescribed for diabetics.
I definitely recommend speaking to your doctor about it.

I did try this with my Endocrinologist for my unstable thyroid management where I gain a lot of weight from it.So, she put me on Ozempic management and this help my weight loss then now I am managing my weight without Ozempic for more than 2 yrs. Best advise is always see treating physician for further advice in-regards to this type of drugs. Under their guidance and their program has great benefits and future management.

I was reading today somewhere that people are dying from the side effects.I’m using Optislim meal replacement bars and they seem to be working well.

Please speak with your doctor. This drug is by no means an “easy way” to lose weight, just google how many individuals put back on the weight once they stop the drug. Also, it is in short supply for those it was designed for, diabetics. If you can honestly say you have tried all other avenues before reaching out about Ozempic… it might be worth a chat.

It needs to be prescribed by a doctor for the correct people ( currently those with diabetes), in certain circumstances, and regularly monitored.

I talked to my dr but her view was that it wasn’t the best option based on the potential side effects and the fact that there are much more natural options to pursue (healthy eating, exercise)

I’ve never tried it but I do have a friend who just asked the doctor to try it and he said it’s pretty much impossible to get atm.

I wanted to try it for weight loss, but hearing all the negative things about Ozempic. I am not willing now to try it.

Don’t – anything that actually works like that is too dangerous. Starving yourself would be healthier.

I spoke to my GP (I’m diabetic) and the rules for prescribing it are so tight that I’m not eligible. It’s not that easy to get in Australia.

It is supposed to be for diabetics and those people who only want it for weight loss should try exercising instead. Being type 2 diabetic is hard enough in trying to eat the right food but there is the other problem of increasing weight gain due to my body not processing the sugars I eat, the problem regulating my insulin and the medication I take all contribute to my weight gain. So please dont take Ozempic unless you have a medical need and leave what limited suppies there are for those who do need it.

It is for people with T2 Diabetes and this is why we are having trouble getting it. I have gone without it for months because of it being unavailable because doctors are prescribing it to people who want to lose weight and are not diabetic. Sorry but this is a peeve of mine.

It’s very expensive and not a miracle cure.

Ozempic is a treatment for people with type 2 diabetes.

I’m worried about trying it. I have been on duromine before and that’s stopped working. I don’t think GPs are really prescribing ozempic for weight loss though?

Speak to your GP but I have a friend who used it an it worked but had trouble maintaining the weight loss when she wasn’t on it. I was personally on a similar one called saxenda double the price and while it worked at the start it left me with bad side effects and decided to get off it immediately. Following a good diet intake and some exercise is always key instead of fast temporary medications

It is important to speak to your GP about this but i have personally tried it and so far it is really helping me. It is worth considering if it is right for you but it is not right for everyone so please do your research first as it can get costly.

A friend of mine tried it, lost weight, but struggled to keep the weight off once she’d stopped taking it. Very expensive too

I got a run down on it from a GP and essentially the theory is it works but there are probably better methods chat to your GP if they’re unhelpful (not all listen or explain) try another one until you feel heard.
