I’ve read a lot of threads on here about Mounjaro and the like and asked a couple of times but not had a response. I’ve also googled and still don’t understand.
Do you have a consultation before taking it? Do you actually speak to someone about your medical and mental health history, other medication that you’re taking and get advice on which is the best brand and how to use it and things to look out for etc? I see people talking about sending photos etc, is that all you have to do?
I work with young people with mental health challenges and a few of them identify as trans and buy hormones online, it scares me that many of them have never had an assessment and are putting this stuff in their body with no medical oversight etc. Some of them are very mentally unwell and shouldn’t be making decisions like this unaided but these companies just don’t care.
So I worry about the organisations selling weight loss injections and their practices, whilst I understand that if you have struggled with your weight it is a great solution, I just worry that the companies are taking short cuts which put people at risk.
Obviously if they do consultations etc and speak to the GP that’s totally different but I can’t find that information out.
