Reading this thread on Italy AIFA reimbursement hits close to home. Night shift nurse — I started at 267 lbs and felt like I would tried everything.
13 months on tirz and I am a different person. Not just the 42 lbs lost — my energy, my mood, my relationship with food. All transformed.
If you are on the fence about Italy AIFA reimburse — take the leap. It was the best health decision I have ever made. ❤️

As a pharmacist, I want to add some clinical context to this discussion on Italy AIFA reimbursement anyone have.
Building on what nick_newbie said — the evidence base here is robust. The key publications to reference are from the SELECT program[1].
Key clinical points:
- Efficacy is dose-dependent and typically requires 4-5 weeks to reach steady state
- Side effect profile is predictable and usually manageable with standard protocols
- Monitoring should include baseline labs and follow-up at 3-month intervals
- Patient education significantly improves outcomes and adherence
Standard disclaimer: this is educational, not individualized medical advice.
