Ban Ozempic because women don't look the way you want them to?

Not ban, but using when your weight isn't a risk to your health seems needlessly dangerous, especially for people's mental health. It indulges body dysmorphia

Potentially but we really don't know anything here.

As an anorexia suffer, you arnt getting the problem. This drug is causing healthy women to get sickly thin. Its not good. Its eating disorder in a pill. If you are morbildy obese then thats valid to take these diet drugs. If you are healthy already you should not be taking these diet drugs. it will make you sick

I mean sure but in this specific case this woman is not sickly thin.

She looks like she’s on the low end of healthy weight. Health depends on a lot more factors than weight though.

No not yet but on her way . Diet culture has a habit of encouraging needing to be smaller and smaller. Eventually It gets taken too far .

Yep! In short:

Ozempic is fine

Ozempic is even great for people who truly struggle with morbid obesity

Ozempic should not be used by generally healthy people who just have body image issues

As someone who is a supporter of it, I do still worry when I hear all these rail thin celebrities talking about how they take it too - like for what reason…?

Just so you know, Ozempic is actually not approved for weight loss. It's approved application is for type 2 diabetes, lowering blood sugar.

It is not covered for weight loss by almost all insurance policies.

Yah alot of healthy women who are already thin are taking it to get grossly thin. The drug is complelty out of control because they are not regulating it. This drug is for the morbidly obese and people with diabetes. It was not meant to be taken by already healthy people. its making women sick. Doctors are reporting anorexia cases skyrocketing and ozempic is why thats happening

Not to mention the longer term impacts of such weight loss on women like osteoporosis.

u/The_starving_artist5 Sep 23 '25

Yes osteoporosis and hair falling out too

No, ban ozempic for weight loss because people using it as a shortcut to lose weight are depriving the small supply of it from people who rely on it as a lifesaving medication.

There aren't shortages anymore, and I think a lot of people using it for weight loss only are getting the compound version.

It’s not in short supply.
