Ozempic drug supresses desire to smoke, drink and more

But given that the actual health benefits of ozempic(for me weight loss is not indicative of better health) have not actually been seen yet, you are quite possibly just taking on both evils at the same time.

On the contrary: GLP1 agonists show broad health benefits across the board.

Check this 24-month clinical trial with >3000 participants[0]. It showed improvements in rates of:

- Cardiovascular death

- Non-fatal Myocardial Infarction

- Non-fatal Stroke

- Revascularisation

- HbA1c

- Fasting Plasma Glucose

- Body Weight

- Lipid Profile ( total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol and triglycerides)

- Urinary Albumin to Creatinine Ratio

- Systolic blood pressure (mmHg)

- "overall health related quality of life namely bodily pain, general health, mental component summary, mental health, physical component summary, physical functioning, role-emotional, role-physical, social functioning and vitality." (each of these categories were "quantitatively" measured using a calibrated questionnaire - - and they all showed a dose-response relationship -- 1.0mg semaglutide made a bigger improvement than 0.5 mg, vs. two different placebos)
