Wegovy is the new drug of choice. Just go to your doctor and ask for it. If insurance doesn’t cover ask for Ozempic. Be an advocate for yourself and ASK SPECIFICALLY for these medications. They work.

Thank you. I see my cardiologist soon. I wonder if they can prescribe it since high sugar is a cardiac risk factor? I’ll ask.

Huh? I’ve had zero issues getting Ozempic.

Many Ozempic/Wegovy Facebook groups are reporting delays and extended wait times. It just hasn't made it to you yet. Hopefully it won't.

You're quoting articles about shortages in Australia. I, as pretty much most of the posters here on DCUM, am in the US. And I'm in a Oz/Wg Facebook group with 62K members from all over the world. Not one member from the US (of which there is the largest number of that 62K) has posted anything about a shortage of Ozempic.
