Getting Rich on the ‘Fat of the Land’

 

In the UK, it’s supposedly illegal to directly advertise Prescription Only Medications (POMs ). The popularity of the injectable weightloss drugs seems, however, to be changing things. Both high street chemists (e.g. Boots)  and online Pharmacists are engaged in bidding wars for customers. Wegovy and Mounjove are both POMs. In spite of supposed shortages of these compounds, sellers are offering money off deals for returning customers. They are also getting round the advertising ban, by claiming to be selling ‘weightloss service’. These often feature images of injections. It’s, of course, simply a profit making exercise. It would be much healthier for folk to, wherever possible, to be encouraged to adopt a healthy lifestyle. Limiting the calories ingested and taking appropriate exercise would be less wasteful, and ‘greener’, as well as improving mental capacity. People, however, seem to relish short-term ‘solutions’. There’s also much more money to be made from this by drug producers and drug sellers!
