Is Ozempic injection only?

I was frantic over the cost. Then I learned from a feline diabetes group about an AMAZING place called Mark's Marine Pharmacy in Vancouver, Canada. It's a legit brick&mortar pharmacy, but they ship meds to the U.S. The staff is incredibly helpful.

So I ordered Sid's insulin from them at a cost of $126 (6 months worth). Md, they packed that insulin so carefully, temperature gauge, everything, and it took only 2 days to ship.

In Canada they sell insulin otc, same brand, same quality we have, but the cost is less than half of what it is here, and that's true of so many medications. The U.S.'s dirty little secret.
Yeah its injection only. Luckily my parents never had issues with their diabetes meds getting covered by insurance.

But Silicone valley is what I thought the type of people were called who used Ozempic off label the ""Silicone Valley people". I have no idea where I got that from.
