    Wasn’t that the case with Ozempic? It was meant for diabetes patients first but then they noted the effect in reduced hunger and many other positive improvements which its why it has become as popular as it has

      It was always a weight control drug, even for diabetics. I cannot believe people take that drug just for weight.

        Technically doesn’t give you a boner but inhibits the hormone that makes it harder to get a boner (e.g during your refractory period)

        To get a boner you still need stimulation, physical or mental.

        Why do I know this? My last relationship was very abusive and stressful. Even boner pills didn’t help much. When I got out of it, things started working again. The pills work best when you actually want to have sex with your partner, but still have issues.

      No, it has side effects, it’s popular because the public yearns for a diet pill that works and are willing to deal with the side effects

        I have never stated that it doesn’t have side effects, I just said it also has positive side effect compared to what was initially expected.
