‘Ozempic Butt’? Is it a Thing? Apparently reports are emerging now that use causes what is known as 'saggy butt'...another problem besides the emerging adverse effects and massive REBOUND weight

Strange, that I just had my husband's 70 yr old cousin move in a couple months ago to help him since he only gets ~$800 CPP + Old Age and can't afford to rent anywhere to survive, and I am proceeding to get him off all of his harmful pharma drugs. He was practically a snail moving zombie 2 mos ago. He is now extremely alert, aware, moving around, doing chores and no longer cognitively impaired.
Took him off of;
- statins
- initially reduced his ozempic to half the huge double doses they had him on
- daily insulin needle, as it was crashing him nightly to dangerously low levels
- eliminated Ozempic a week ago, and he is LOSING weight, not gaining it, but then, I started a Keto diet a few weeks ago, and he has been following it somewhat. Mostly his meat consumption is UP and carbs are significantly lowered. He is also more full, due to the meat content, and not eating the oatmeal cookies he was before.
And what blows my mind, is that he has been on metformin 500mg 2x/d for years and a few weeks ago, he went to pickup refills (not his metformin), yet they gave him a big bottle of new pills that said "TRIAL" on it. Not on his prescription list and never had them before and his Dr. didn't discuss anything with him about a change or increase since his sugars are in control and bloodwork all came back good at his last 3 month appt. I looked up the medication and it is 1000mg metformin + another medication 2x/d, effectively DOUBLING his dosage of metformin daily, to the maximum of 2000mg/day!
When I looked up the 'indications' for this medication, it said;
- NOT to increase seniors over 65 yrs to the maximum dosage
- to do increases gradually at 500mg/week!
- only to be used if the current dosage was not working to keep sugars in check
He is always in the normal acceptable range, as he has a constant monitoring device in his arm. He is keeping to his diet regime very well and not tempted by any sugars in my house, as I have been off sugar for years.
So, why in hell would the pharmacy try to kill him with this overnight doubling (ultimately possibly TRIPLING!) of metformin without any instructions on any reasons for the increase, and how to safely increase the dosage in increments. If he had been in the dopey shape I found him in originally, and gotten that bottle of pills, he would have just started adding the 1000mg metformin dosage 2x/day to his current 500mg 2x/day for a total of 3000/day...well beyond the maximum dosage limits and he would have been shitting his pants all day long. Because that is what he said happened when he first started the metformin. It was horrible. They might have killed him!!
Also, 1 of the first things I did, was get him on high doses of liquid VitaminD and large doses of Vitamin C.
That's what happens when you screw with your LIVER! I just got off entivio and prednisone...my ass fell to the ground surrounded by gobs of cellulite. AND high triglicerides, high blood pressure, pre diabetes, weight gain, muscle weakness and failure....etc....yippeeee..long road back to health. And no help from my doctor...Doctors are just drug dealers now...Thanks to the socialist Canadian Health care system...it's FREE and it's DEADLY..LOL!!!!
