Sorry is this a thing or just a joke? I have little knowledge of either fitness pharmaceuticals or celebrity news, but my understanding was that low abuse potential was a standout feature of the new peptides?
All my knowledge about ozempic comes from a south park episode. From that and tabloid news it seems like a lot of people use it for non medical purposes
In medical/pharmaceutical context isn’t “abuse potential” specific to drugs that feels good/get you high… Like street drugs? In the case I think OP means that people is abusing for the results instead. Like people that do too much plastic surgery and loose track of what they first wanted to improve.
Fair enough, though if dysmorphia is the only litmus, a gym habit could be construed as abuse, so I assume there’s something more implied here — e.g., exceeding clinical guidelines for eating disorder enablement (if the peptide is even capable of that, which I don’t know).

I think it’s because they’re using it for aesthetics and not just health improvement.
Getting healthy and getting skinny aren’t the same.
