Y'all realise this is mostly because ozempic has become trendy in America as a weight loss medication because it came out a ton of celebrities were using it right?
It has become just as trendy in all the other countries as well and a flourishing grey market for the drug exists everywhere you have weight-conscious people with disposable income.
The difference in price between the US and developed countries is purely the uniquely parasitical nature of American healthcare.
People in all those other countries are on average wayyy lighter and healthier than Americans. There's definitely more demand and usage in USA just because of that. America also has one of the highest rates of aesthetic procedures as well
I don't always, but this entire thread is mostly circlejerking about US healthcare bad (like we all already know that) and random shitting on the American working class???
Does it not work well? Before GLP-1 agonists your options for weight-loss drugs were pretty limited. Stimulants work well but they have lots of side effects, put much increased stress on the circulatory system, and aren't sustainable long term (also extremely difficult for working people to obtain in the age of the drug war). There have been other weight-loss drugs but many have been withdrawn because of the risks associated with them.
As far as I know, GLP-1 agonists are some of the most effective and safest weight loss drugs discovered so far
As long as we live in a slop-based society where it's completely on the individual to not destroy their body with the garbage food available I think these drugs will be quite popular
