jayboy Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 There's been much publicity about drugs to tackle diabetes and weight loss.Recently I read that they can also reduce the risk of heart disease and this week I read they may in the future be prescribed to millions of middle aged people.The reports I have seen make it clear these drugs should be combined with exercise and good diet.It seems there are some side effects but they appear to be manageable. It would be interesting to know the position in Thailand.Weekly injections are needed (about Bt 12,000 I believe) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IvorBiggun2 Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 For in Thailand Ozempic weight loss pen is considered a dangerous drug that must only be prescribed by a doctor. By law, trading cannot be done through online channels or general stores. It is also expensive. and may not be effective for weight loss If you want to lose weight, you should use other methods that are safer and get more certain results. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it has to be prescribed by a doctor, and specifically for diabetics not for those who want to lose weight.Contrary to what you say it seems to be very effective in most cases and as I mentioned earlier the medical advice is that it should be combined with exercise/calorie control/good diet.Obviously I'm no expert but all the indications these drugs are here to stay and presumably will be improved and get less expensive over time. I had wondered whether any member has had personal experience.It would be interesting to know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CecilM Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 Too limited supply in hospital stocks to be prescribed for weight loss. No way to purchase it elsewhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Robert Paulson Posted May 15 Popular Post Share Posted May 15 We don’t have medicines, do you know that? What we have are things that eliminate your current symptoms a little, all to give you some other problems in the near future. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post retarius Posted May 15 Popular Post Share Posted May 15 I have taken it. Outstandingly effective, I lost a lot of weight and my fasting blood sugars improved along with my longer term blood sugar, HbA1C levels. What I found is that it makes me feel profoundly nauseous and not really wanting to eat anything. I went from 94 to 80 KG in 3 months. I used the two lower dosages because I was unable to tolerate the higher dosage levels. Now the downside: When I stopped taking it, I immediately put all the weight back on and then some. I went from 80kg to 96kg in 2 months....hungry all the time and nothing would help the cravings. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwill Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 Intermittent fasting and avoid eating carbs, sugars, and processed foods. Does the same and saves you money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit expensive at present 🙏 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HauptmannUK Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 The husband of one of my wife's friends took it. A big fellow about 55 years old. Definitely obese. Anyway he couldn't tolerate it. Played hell with his digestive system (stomach pains/cramps, nausea/vomiting etc). I think he gave up after 6-8 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for sharing your experience.You might be interested to know a recent study reported in the British press indicated the weight could be kept off when not taking the drug by very slowly tapering off usage.Obviously this drug treatment is at a very early stage.It's hard to believe that in ten years time many of the teething problems won't have been ironed out.Cost down too probably. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Globalres Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 What this drug does is that it slows down the movements of your intestines so all your, by now, fermenting food is backlogged up all the way and I believe releasing toxins into your blood stream. Another job for your liver to sort out. i guess better food choices and amount of food is the answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would suggest any prospective consumer should be under the strict guidance of an experienced physician at a major hospital.That would not include a particular clinic favored by some expatriates where on my last two visits the doctor in charge has put on an eccentric display (to put it politely) including screaming at the support staff. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really accurate at all but easy to research for those who are genuinely interested. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kwaibill Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 My docs here swiched me over to Jardiance Duo from my long term insulin regime. Quite helpful in the glucose control dept. and I had lost ~ 15 kilos with it. It too is expensive though as a recently patented drug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john donson Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 4-6 table spoons of olive oil on an empty stomach will make you feel the same nausea as 12.000 baht or more a month ozempic, without dangerous side effects... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
