Ozempic/Wegovy May Be Causing Increase in Rate of Stomach Paralysis

This thread is a great reminder that the people on GC are not just screen names who have a certain political outlook. These are real humans making their way through life, dealing with the inevitable challenges that arise.

I’m grateful for this reminder.

 

Why don't we see reports of 'non-stop' vomiting for a year after use on the news?

 

How would one do that when Empower Pharmacy is the compounder? They literally put the raw materials together to make the drug.

 

My wife had the pooping issue after our second duaghter. Turned out to be an iron deficiency.

She has no weight issues, eats healthy etc and this just hit her out of nowhere in the hospital the day after childbirth.

Once her iron levels stabilized she was good to... um... er... Go.

 

There are two ways to lose weight:
1) Consume fewer calories than you burn;
2) Amputation

 

They are not making the raw materials, they are buying peptides like all of the other compounding pharmacies. You buy the peptides then reconstitute it yourself. Semaglutide peptide + bac water = ozempic/wegovy. You can do the same for Mounjaro. Bodybuilders have been doing this forever

 

Great tell me where. All the compounded semaglutide I have seen is already in liquid form.
The only peptides I ever had to reconstitute cjc/ipamorelin.

 

Here are some sources to research

Arctic Peptides
Helix Chem
Prestige Peptides
Peptide Sciences
Triggered
Blue Sky

 

Gotcha, those are the research only online stores. The ones where your really not sure what you are getting.

 

Yes, however compounding pharmacies are getting theirs from the same sources that these companies are ordering from. A certificate of analysis is important when ordering peptides to ensure that what you ordered was tested for purity

 

Tirzepatide demonstrated significant and superior weight loss compared to placebo in two pivotal studies

 

Those are incredible results. At some point insurance companies will realize that it will cost them more in the long run to not cover these drugs. Of course you will hear people say just diet and exercise more, but how well has preaching those words worked for the majority of people?

 

Retatrutide is showing even better results in phase 2 trials.
24% drop in 48 weeks

This cartoon comes to mind.

 

3) increase the efficiency of your digestive system to expel excess calories

 

Don't you want to decrease the efficiency? The better job it does of digesting and absorbing your food, the fatter you'll be.
