    Viagra is a prime example. They were trying to treat premature ejaculation, and a side-effect was a solid, consistent boner.

    And ALL those weight loss drugs started as a treatment for Diabetes, that had the side effects of losing weight.

    I just saw an ad for Zepbound, one of those new weight loss drugs. My doctor prescribed one of those, but my insurance won’t pay for weight loss drugs, which is common (and stupid). The new Zepbound ad claims it treats sleep apnea, and sleep apnea treatment is covered by insurance. The fact that it treats sleep apnea by helping you lose weight gets around the insurance restrictions.
