We recently got Liraglutide for a family member and it's worked wonders. (It's an alternative to semaglutide, and only available as an injection). They've lost weight for the first time at age 64, mostly because they just don't feel hungry all the time anymore. They're super happy to see the stretch marks on their belly.

It costs around INR 12,500/month though for a total of 3 injections, after a 20% discount, which is super expensive. (For comparison, a strip of 15 tablets of Hydroxychloroquine costs INR 110, and all their other medicines for diabetes, hypertension, depression, insulin etc cost INR 6000/month combined). And insurance doesn't cover any medication here unless it's 30-60 days pre/post hospitalization.
