[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where are people getting Wegovy?  I’ve had a prescription since September, but can never get it filled. I have Kaiser, so need to pay full price. It’s never been available through Kaiser. Is there a pharmacy or med spa that has it?[/quote]

After I heard about compounded semaglutide I called around and a highly reputable compounding pharmacy informed me they were not dispensing it yet but would be doing so in the near future, so to check back. The second time I called back they were scheduled to roll it out the following week. My doctor's NP had written me a script for Wegovy months earlier but I did not have insurance to cover it. I messaged her with all the necessary prescribing info for compounded semaglutide and the following week I was on it.

That was 10 months ago and since then their supply chain has not once been affected the way shortages have affected the availability of Wegovy. Unsubstantiated reports are that there is plenty of the medication semaglutide available but that it is the fancy injection pens that Novo Nordisk cannot source enough of. Compounded semaglutide is dispensed in vials to be injected with an insulin syringe and it has never been affected by such shortages. Nor has the 'Fitaro' generic for Wegovy which is packaged in a simple prefilled syringe. There is no shortage of it in countries where it is available but the US is not one of those. [/quote]
