How long has Ozempic been around? I've never heard of it until very recently (maybe the last month or two) and suddenly I'm seeing it all the time. Maybe this is an instance of Baader-Meinhof phenomenon, but it doesn't feel like it.

Ozempic has been around about 10 years used mostly for diabetes, but it's use for weight loss management has exploded with the release similar drugs using the same core principles such as Wegovy and Mounjaro. There's also definitely a compounding effect of it being successful for people and them telling their friends.
