And in the Ritutrutide trials, we saw large numbers of people with this sort of prickling skin condition that they felt when they were taking the medicine.

There's also a very rare eye condition called nion.

It can be kind of like a

like sudden vision loss in one of your eyes.

And so it's very rare, but it is something that can happen.

People worry about the thyroid.

And so that's something to monitor.

And then, of course, there have been things like gastroparesis.

So this sort of like, you know.

Paralyzed gut.

Exactly.

And so, you know, these are drugs.

I think about possible side effects when I take ibuprofen.

So I think people need to be cautious.

I think in some ways they are and in some ways they're not.

I mean, an increasing number of people who I know are taking them, people who might have been resistant to taking them before.

You know, I have older people in my life whose doctors felt like the drugs hadn't been studied for long enough, even just a couple of years ago, whose doctors now are saying, OK, they're fine, like you would benefit from being on this.

And I like to see to hear about how people are taking them, you know.

A number of people I know have said either their doctor has required that they start weight training before they go on these medicines so that they establish that pattern.

They know that they can do it while they're doing it.
