| My husband has a prescription in hand and would like to start, but can’t find a pharmacy that has it in stock. If anyone has had recent success starting, he would appreciate any advice or guidance you have to share! |

Nope. Almost impossible to find. |

| If he has coverage for Wegovy, ask to be switched to Zepbound. More availability and you can request an exception based to the shortage. |

We have waited for Wegovy since end of September. Doctor finally put family member on Zepbound and got it in a couple of days. |

| But won't Zepbound soon be in the same situation? |

| Nope. I have been on it for almost a year but haven’t been able to find any for almost two months. |

| Why would you prefer Wegovy to Zepbound anyway? I thought Zepbound was supposed to be more effective? |

| Wegovy .25 is nowhere to be found! My insurance company won’t cover Zepbound unfortunately. |

| I'm on Wegovy 2.4 and need to titrate down to 1.7. Nothing available anywhere except the 2.4. |

| If you have a prescription mail order plan that may be helpful |

| I would start calling pharmacies 1-2 hours away from you. |

| Isn’t Zepbound for diabetics only? |
