[quote=Anonymous]Honestly, there's been a shortage of the pens used for Wegovy and lots of announcements from the company that doctors need to be aware of this shortage before starting their patients on Wegovy. Believe me, the last thing Novo Nordisk needs is free advertising from sock puppets on DCUM because it cannot keep up with demand.

Also, you should know that GLP-1s (the type of drug semaglutide, aka Ozempic and Wegovy depending on dosage/use) have been around for a long time and have a long track record in diabetes treatment. Weight loss was such a noticeable side effect in diabetes treatment that Novo Nordisk decided to pursue approval for weight loss.

The company offered a six-month discount voucher for Wegovy last year. It did not re-up the discount voucher this year. I did six months and am done, and am now working with the doctors at Calibrate to determine how best to maintain my 45 pound weight loss. This has not been an easy road with no side effects but it has been life-changing.

I hope our for-profit health insurance system will eventually see the benefits of paying for these drugs now to avoid paying the much higher costs in the long run of people with diabesity, heart disease, etc.[/quote]
