[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, unless they are diabetic-they are not getting Ozempic. They MAY be getting Wegovy, which is approved for weight loss.

I have Wegovy covered with fepblue, due to BMI and a related co-morbidity (high cholesterol). I was prescribed it by my regular doctor, after I tried several statins for the cholesterol with varying intolerable side effects. [/quote]

I got Ozempic for being prediabetic and overweight. It's approved for weight loss with another condition.[/quote]

“Approval” and “covered” aren’t the same things so people might be confused by this. Your doctor can prescribe things even if they aren’t “approved” for your conditions and they may or may not be covered by your insurance. Off label (meaning not “approved) prescriptions are super common.

It's not covered, but that's not what the PP stated. She said you can't get it for weight loss. Yes, you can get it if you are willing to pay for it. I was willing to pay for it because I didn't want to wait until I was full on diabetic. Anyway I mostly use a compound from my doctor now because being prescribed and actually getting brand Ozempic are two different things. Hopefully it will be more available in the new year.[/quote]
My doctor would prescribe wegovy, only , for me because I am not diabetic. My doctor would not prescribe ozympic for me.[/quote]
