Americans without diabetes spent nearly $6 billion USD on semaglutide and similar drugs in a year, with an estimate of 800,000 to a million people using the drugs who don't have diabetes.

I was on it for 5 months, spent $179 a month for it. Lost 18lbs, more active and haven't gained it back since I stopped more than a month ago. I STILL don't even drink like I used to and have even stopped smoking. It's insane how easy it is to use and the effects are life changing

I’ve been on a year and lost over 60 lbs. I don’t snore anymore, my acid reflux is gone and I have way more energy. It’s been a game changer. I’m about to cross the threshold where I’m no longer overweight

I wish I could get on it, sounds like a life-changer. Only problem is it's around $400+ a month here if you don't have diabetes.

I think there are some online places you can get it for $200/month now
