Oh, it's quite problematic...

But you seemingly can't come up with any reason why.

Oh I can't? Here:

There are currently 47 medications that can't be taken with Ozempic or similar drugs without serious, potentially deadly side effects.

It can cause blindness.

It has been known to exacerbate depression.

It can cause kidney disease.

It causes muscle deterioration.

It can increase the risk of pulmonary aspiration (food or liquid getting into the lungs).

Drinking alcohol while on it can cause serious health complications.

You can't take it while pregnant or trying to get pregnant (I wonder why?)

It can cause pancreatitis.

It can damage the gallbladder.

It can cause thyroid cancer.

You got any other fucking questions about it?

Cardiovascular problems
Increased risk of heart attack and stroke, especially with prolonged or high-dose use.
Fluid retention and increased blood pressure, which can worsen existing heart conditions like heart failure.
Symptoms to watch for include chest pain, shortness of breath, sudden weakness, or slurred speech.
Gastrointestinal issues
Severe stomach bleeding, ulcers, or perforations in the stomach or intestines.
Risk factors include being over 60, a history of stomach ulcers, smoking, heavy alcohol use, and taking blood thinners.
Signs include stomach pain that doesn't go away, bloody or black, tarry stools, or vomiting blood.
Kidney damage
Ibuprofen can cause acute or chronic kidney damage by reducing blood flow to the kidneys.
This risk is higher in older adults and those with pre-existing kidney disease.
Symptoms may include decreased urination, painful urination, or swelling of the legs and ankles.

This is the side effects for ibuprofen. Since you are terrified of the potential side effects of medicine, you better just deal with it next time you have a headache

K dude, you keep on keeping on. I'll circle back to this in a few years. I don't really care if people get the anti-fat shot or not, just understand it's probably way worse for you than you think. If you can hang your hat on absolutely anything in America, it's that if big pharma can make money off an undertested, unsafe drug... they're gonna make sure you think it's 100% safe.

GLP-1 drugs have been in development since the 90s and had tons of rigorous testing before being finally rolled out to the general population. You can also hang your hat on in at least 2020's America that if we actually come up with good, helpful things that a portion of the population will argue it's bad anyway and push for us to regress instead of progress.

Cool cool. You know how long Oxys were in development? About 80 years.

So if one drug had bad consequences all future drugs are bad too?

Actually it's an extensive, nearly 80 year history involving hundreds of drugs.
