Can I mention my product if I frame it as helpful?
No. The rule “No spam/low effort/ promotional posts” bans promotional posts, and the brief confirms promotion is banned here.

Rules can change, so Rankhog keeps verification dates and the original public Reddit sources visible.
Rule summary
- Be civil to all posters: Please be civil to all posters. This is a user support forum and everyone is at a different point in their experience. Be kind.
- No bullying or harassment: All posters deserve a user support subreddit free from bullying and harassment. Do not engage in these behaviors.
- Do not private message someone without advance permission: Please obtain permission before sending another poster a Direct Message. This not only alerts the recipient that they are being contacted, but allows all posters to feel safe and secure that all private messaging is wanted and is by consent.
- Do not share other people's personal information: Do not share other members' personal and identifying information on this subreddit. No doxxing. Do not collect personal and identifying information from this board to share with other subreddits/sites.
- Do not sell or trade prescription medication illegally: Selling, including reselling or trading, prescription medications on Reddit is forbidden.
- Do not seek to obtain medicine illegally: Please do not attempt, or solicit, the purchase of prescription medications from unlicensed individuals and businesses.
- No body, lifestyle, or diet shaming: This subreddit should be considered a safe space for all posters. Do not engage in behavior to shame, harass, or ridicule other posters.
- No posts pitting diabetic patients against weight loss only patients: This is a user support forum to engage in topics related to Ozempic/Wegovy/Semaglutide medications. This subreddit is NOT the place to determine a patient's suitability for access, and use, of these medications; that is a topic solely between a patient and their medical provider.
- No spam/low effort/ promotional posts: Please do not create spam, "low effort", or promotional posts in this subreddit. Please use https://www.reddit.com/r/Ozempic/search/
- Please use the appropriate MEGATHREAD: This content belongs in a MEGATHREAD. Please recreate your post there.
Works well
- Sharing your own honest experience with the medication if you genuinely have one, written as a story with specifics and no product mention anywhere.
- Answering other people's questions in the comments with helpful information that has nothing to do with your business.
- Celebrating an accomplishment thread the way the description invites, focused on the person and the community, not on anything you sell.
- Reading the megathreads and the subreddit search before posting, so your post adds something new instead of repeating what has been asked.
- If you must ask the community something for research, asking openly, humbly, and with a clear statement that you are not selling anything, and accepting that it may still be removed.
Avoid
- Posting anything that promotes your product, service, or link, because “No spam/low effort/ promotional posts” bans promotional posts outright.
- Dropping your link in a comment or a private message, since the promotion rule covers the subreddit and the community clearly wants consent before private contact.
- Messaging members directly about your product without asking first, which breaks “Do not private message someone without advance permission”.
- Collecting usernames or personal details from the subreddit to build a contact list, which “Do not share other people's personal information” forbids.
- Anything that touches buying, selling, or trading medication, because “Do not sell or trade prescription medication illegally” and “Do not seek to obtain medicine illegally” are zero tolerance.
- Posting content that frames diabetic patients and weight loss patients as competing groups, which “No posts pitting diabetic patients against weight loss only patients” removes on sight, and which is also bad marketing judgment anywhere on Reddit for a health community like this one.
What r/Ozempic Is For
This is a support community for people using Ozempic, Wegovy, and semaglutide medications. The description says it plainly: everything Ozempic, questions, answers, and accomplishments. The people posting here are patients, people considering the medication, and family or friends trying to understand it. They come with questions about their experience and they share wins. The rules call this a user support forum more than once, and that framing matters. It is a place where everyone is at a different point in their journey, and the community expects kindness toward all of them, whether someone is on the medication for diabetes or for weight loss.
Rules That Matter Before Posting
The rule that decides almost everything for a marketer is “No spam/low effort/ promotional posts”, because promotional posts are simply not allowed here. “Be civil to all posters” and “No bullying or harassment” set the tone, since this is a user support forum and kindness is a written requirement, not a vibe. “No body, lifestyle, or diet shaming” matters if you comment at all, because joking about weight or diet is shaming here. “No posts pitting diabetic patients against weight loss only patients” is unusual and important, because you cannot frame one group of patients as more deserving than the other. “Do not private message someone without advance permission” means you cannot slide into someone's messages about your product. “Do not sell or trade prescription medication illegally” and “Do not seek to obtain medicine illegally” ban any talk of buying or selling medication. “Do not share other people's personal information” protects members from doxxing. Finally, “Please use the appropriate MEGATHREAD” means some content belongs in a megathread, not a standalone post.
What To Post
Honestly, this is one of those communities where a founder should be very careful. Direct promotion is banned, so there is no version of a product pitch that survives here. What can work is showing up as a genuine human. If you or someone close to you has real experience with this medication, sharing that story honestly fits the room, because the description literally invites accomplishments. Answering questions with helpful, non promotional information is welcome, as long as you are not selling anything. If you want to understand what patients struggle with, read and listen. If you ever want to ask this community something, like how people track their health data or what tools they wish existed, keep it humble, ask permission in the post itself, and make clear you are not pitching. And check whether your topic belongs in a megathread before posting, because the rules send some content there.
What To Avoid
Do not post anything promotional, because that gets removed. Do not post low effort content, and do not repost something that has been asked many times, because the rules point people to the subreddit search instead. Do not DM members without permission first. Do not collect or share anyone's personal information. Do not buy, sell, trade, or ask around about getting medication from unlicensed sources. Do not shame anyone for their body, lifestyle, or diet. Do not start or join arguments about whether diabetic patients deserve the medication more than weight loss patients. Do not post content that belongs in a megathread. And above all, be civil, because this is a support forum and unkind posts do not fit.

Common questions about r/Ozempic
Are links allowed?
The rules do not state a policy on links either way, so treat links as risky and assume a promotional link will be removed under the spam rule.
Can I message members who seem interested in my product?
No. “Do not private message someone without advance permission” means you need consent before contacting anyone privately.
Can I ask for feedback on my app or service?
The rules do not say, but the safest read is that a founder asking for feedback looks promotional, so I would not risk it here.
Can I sell or arrange access to medication?
No. “Do not sell or trade prescription medication illegally” forbids selling, reselling, or trading prescription medications on Reddit.
