Not necessarily… Several of the new weight loss drugs are primarily something else, and the weight loss is an “off-label” use. My (now ex-) wife was prescribed mounjaro for her type 2 diabetes, and proceeded to lose a considerable amount of weight. She wanted me to do the same, but insurance only covers the primary use, I wasn’t/am not diabetic, so I’d have to pay out of pocket, and that shit is expensive.
