When are the pills coming?

i am in my 50s, under active thyroid, high cholesterol and find it really hard to lose weight. I am currently 80.5kg and need to be more 70kg.

I have no idea where to even start with injections. When are the pills coming? I was in the US last week and saw them advertised on tv so not that long?

I could be viewed as in desperate need of help but I cannot countenance taking the jabs due to the associated risks. I’m hoping the pills, when approved for UK use, may be safer.
It astounds me that so many are dismissive of that potential, particularly when only a stone may be needed to be gone. It astounds me even more they might lie to get it.

Why risks do you think exist by injecting a medication that won’t exist by swallowing it?

I’d return that sentiment. I did find it a lecture from someone that probably either taking the medication or is an advocate. Fact is truth to those believing in it, nonsense to those they’re failing to convince. It matters not to me, as I’ll make my own decisions at 67 years of age, not follow the herd.

It’s not a faith thing, or a figment of one’s imagination, it is not about believing in it, it is a medication, that is approved by all the global health authorities that has also proven very successful.

if you don’t wish to take it, no one cares. No one is asking you to, no one is trying to convince you to take it. Literally no 0ne cares. It’s incredibly odd to proactively join a discussion thread and think people are trying to convince you to take a prescription medication, no one is. Literally.

correcting incorrect information is not trying to convince anyone to take it, it is simply correcting errors.
