Sad that as a scientist or a supporter of science that you don’t mention that lizards are important to ecosystems and that the loss of lizards will have a negative impact.

Hi! Unfortunately there’s only so much space in a social media post, so there is a lot that had to be left out. But lizards are not harmed by the production of Ozempic, as a synthetic hormone is used, rather than one straight from a lizard.

Not the best reply given you took several posts to share your story. Nor is your response accurate about the lizards. Ozempic is a 100% synthetic. It is produced in a lab. Therefore no animals, live or dead, are used to make the drug. A lizard was part of the discovery of the class of drug.
