[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 2643322, member: 196898"] Was watching a News discussion program on TV last night (possinbly Newsnight) and the topic turned to the shortage of weight loss jabs. It was discussed that the price being charged for this treatment has made it a honeypot for black marketeers and criminals. I found out yesterday that a local pharmacy had been broken into and the contents of the strong box whee they keep the controled drugs like heroin, morphine etc was cleared out. So I think we will see a GLP-1 fuelled spate of such incidents to supply an illegal trade. It may become easier to get your supply from the local drug lord or pusher. Or from the geezer at the back of the pub with the long overcoat. just a thought. It may be the Fentanyl of the future. The discussion did not offer evidence for this, so it is conjecture, but plausible. It may be that the drug conmpanies are not the only ones trying to make a fortune from these meds, and it would be yet another non medical drain on supplies. Remember that like heroin, the use of this drug may be for the rest of your life according to the CEO of Eli Lilley who stated this in a recent intervew. One known but not advertised side effect of these meds is the very quick and extra large weight gain when you stop taking the med. Yo Yo dieting in a pen. Edit to add: Just noted a typo above where it should read 'companies', but I like what I wrote, so have decided to let it go. [/QUOTE]
