    Zepbound and Wegovy are weight loss formulations, not diabetes formulations.

    Zepbound is identical to Mounjaro, except Mounjaro is prescribed just for diabetes while Zepbound is prescribed for obesity and sleep apnea. Wegovy is the same drug as the diabetes medication Ozempic, but it has different dosing once you get over 1 mg.

      Ah, didn’t know that bit. Even so, getting the general populace to lose weight is going to save a lot on healthcare costs so IMO it’s a good thing.
