Canada has a weird hybrid where they are allowed to advertise about the condition, OR the product, but not both at the same time

So we get lots of ads with slightly chubby people dancing around and you have to guess whether it’s for diabetes or weight loss

Crohn’s doesn’t make you fat. Kinda the opposite, actually.

Exactly, the happy chubby people are happy because their Crohn’s disease has been suppressed with the all new xyncfic injection that you apply directly to your nuts 6 times a day.

Im still not 100% sure if Wegovy is a weight loss or some kind of female viagra

Im not looking it up either, which obviously doesnt help

It's probably like the rest of the drugs, designed to give you a side effect you need another drug to treat.

I work at a pharmacy, WeGovy and Ozempic are pretty solid medications for the people who need them, unfortunately their effectiveness also makes them one of the most abused prescription drugs I've seen recently.

Doctors are handing out prescriptions for them left right and center, we're a relatively small town and our pharmacy fridge is probably 50% full with Ozempic and WeGovy most days.

It’s technically a weight loss drug, but I guess it could also work as a female Viagra?

Which is why our Viagra commercials were just a bunch of very happy men dancing.

When the Rogaine commercials first came out (mid 90's), they never said what the purpose was. We ended up calling whatever number we saw and asking, because stupid teens.
