Ok so how can I get generic ozempic from India, because here in the US there probably won't be a generic until at least 2032 due to how our patent laws work.

i am guessing ask someone to bring it over (maybe courier also works).
Yes, my understanding is that it's legal in the US to purchase prescription-only drugs from overseas as long as they're only for personal use. It's kind of a grey area but as long as they're not scheduled substances, I and multiple people I know have saved a lot of money by buying prescription drugs from Europe and shipping them here (we have such a wonderfully broken system here, don't we?)
If you go to border towns in Mexico like Tijuana they have pharmacies on every corner like Starbucks where you can buy medications.
Genuinely: are we still crossing borders? I’ve stopped even considering it given… everything.
I wouldn't if I wasn't a US citizen. Apparently even domestic flights can put you at risk now too.
I’ve purchased generic medications on DNMs before. There was a user “Indiapilldaddy” who sold hundreds of different generics. Antibiotics, antivirals, cholesterol, blood pressure, etc. With the review system on the DNMs it’s probably more trustworthy than some random website that pops up.

It's fun to dereference jargon the First time you use it.
Here comes a gentle reminder: Ozempic is primarily meant as a medicine for type 2 diabetes and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. It has plenty of side effects, does not lead to long-term weight loss and may harm you in the long run. It may be helpful, but it shouldn't be taken uncontrollably.
Consult your physician to determine if it's the best way forward.
I've been on it for 2 years for weight loss/maintenance and it's life-changing & I wish this existed 30 years ago, my entire life & self-esteem would've made me a completely different person so much more confident & goal-achieving
Lost my best friend of 20 years and I blame this drug. I am convinced rapid weight loss when you've been fat for 35 years is going to be a huge change to the brain as well. Dude isn't the same person anymore

From the reports that i have read (am indian), 20+ generics are expected, within roughly 2 months or so, with previous price being something along 10k INR (roughly 100USD) a month to about 3-4k INR (30-40 USD) a month. Drugs have always been kinda cheap here (as an example, a simple paracetamol (tylenol) tablet costs 1 INR (~1cent US)), so it is still expensive (for vast majority, it is more than 2-3 days of work), but much better. hope people use this cautiously though with reasonable expectations.
Sounds to me like the US is going to continue to be a country of morbidly obese poor people in a much skinnier world.

We're not able to regulate the food and automobile industry so we're going to drug everyone forever so that we don't end up like the Pixar spaceships. In 20 years we'll discover the side effects and everyone will be shocked.

i tried it briefly for a couple months, got embarrassed at myself for my brief moment of insanity that I had tried it and stopped.
observing all this is beyond my ability to any longer have sympathy for the human race as a whole . Instead of banning cars, starbucks and fast food etal we design a drug to sell to you.
Like many of the endless examples of human stupidity, it seemingly makes lots of sense at an individual level and is completely fucking insane at a societal level.
If you look at photos and footage from like 50 years ago, everyone was way thinner. I don't believe we've just got greedier. I don't believe people were necessarily choosing healthier options. The food has changed and is practically poisonous. People don't want to be this way and I don't think it's fair to blame them directly.
Never believe it's not so
