Name one.
NP—here is one

BUT….this is compounded semaglutide. It is not generic Ozempic/Wegovy. Generics you can buy with a script from CVS. The pharmacy at CVS does not carry compounded semaglutide.
A compound pharmacy makes the medication using the ingredients—like a baker would make a cake. Compounds are not regulated by the FDA so you really don’t know what exactly you are injecting into yourself when you buy a compound. You are trusting the compounding pharmacy but there is no oversight.
Semaglutide is still under patent. Novo Norodisk isn’t selling semaglutide as an ingredient to compounding pharmacies. So you have to ask where are these compounding pharmacies buying their semaglutide and what exactly is in it.
This is...illegal. They are not compounding with semaglutide base. They are compounding with research-grade semaglutide salts. FDA has recently been very clear that there is no legal basis for compounding using semaglutide salts. Most state boards of pharmacy are beginning to issue notices that they do not consider this practice legal compounding.

If you are dangerously overweight a proper physician will assist you with this. If you need to drop ten or twenty pounds, shame on you. People need these medicines. Spend less time keyboarding and go for a walk.
It's NOT just people looking for vanity weight loss that need to access medication this way. Not everyone has access to a proper physician or insurance that will cover weight loss medications. I was dangerously obese and the only way I could afford Ozempic was to order it from Canada. Thankfully I was able to enroll in insurance that covers it now but it can be very hard to get these medicines covered by insurance even if you truly need it. Even if you're diabetic. And not every PCP is willing to send scripts to Canada or issue a paper prescription so often these pill mill telehealth doctors are the only option.
You speak with startling ignorance.
Your PCP does not send a script to Canada. You’d PCP had absolutely nothing to do with where you fill your Rx, nor are they shills for US pharma robber Barrons.
Any endocrinologist or weight loss doctor is well versed in these life saving drugs and will persecute you what is right for your illness. No need for telemedicine unless you find that easier. I saw a weight loss Dr for a year. Lost 58lbs.
? My American PCP faxed my prescription to a pharmacy in Manitoba back when I had to buy my Ozempic from Canada. Not sure what I’m ignorant about.

As an American I'm embarrassed that American's are taking meds away from Canadians because of their vanity.
Your punctuation is what you should be "embarrassed about", along with your nasty attitude. Also - blame Canadian pharmacies for being greedy enough to ship to the US.
It was actually an American doctor from Texas who went to school in Canada, who was responsible for sending all the prescriptions to a pharmacy in Canada. He alone was responsible for the ban, by being so greedy.

There are many other diabetic medications on the market. Diabetes can be controlled by medications other than semaglutide.
It’s not your diabetes medication. Wegovy is the same as Oz and approved for weight loss. OP should not get a script for Oz but if they want to lose weight a script for Wegovy is appropriate.
Perhaps not as well. Where is your medical degree to decide that for OP?
I don’t disagree. But that’s the same logic as obesity can be controlled by diet and exercise. Perhaps it can but not as well.
I’m tired of the diabetic community feeling that they and only they are entitled to have access to semaglutide.
Pp again - It’s not just the diabetic community. Its the pharmacists who (thankfully) gatekeep the drug and save it for diabetics, it’s the ethical doctors who refuse to prescribe ozempic to non diabetics because there is a shortage, and it’s the freaking manufacturer of the company who is making less of the starter doses of Wegovy (same drug as ozempic for diabetics) so that that diabetics already on this drug can keep getting their prescriptions filled.

Lol apparently it is, since you’re being blocked from buying it. Look I don’t make the rules, and I’m not talking about Wegovy. I took metformin for 8 years and once I switched to ozempic my a1c went down to a normal range, and no I’m not obese or overweight. Unless you’re a diabetic, you don’t get it. I also took januvia and that didn’t work either, so yes for me, ozempic is my medication because it works for me, a diabetic.

Ozempic is not a weight loss medication. It is a diabetes medication.
I said that and got a snotty response.
BC will no longer ship to the US. Other provinces are looking at following suit.

This is BC. Not all of Canada. You can literally go to a pharmacy across the street from the Costco Niagra falls and walk in and get your ozempic (and allll kinds of other drugs) as an American. When I was on ozempic that’s what I did. Was worth it, every 2 months. Plus I have family there.
They don’t have a shortage. This was a power move by us pharma to snag more profits and so many of you idiots are shills for them.

Vanity? Obesity is a dearly disease and the #1 killer of Americans. What is embarrassing is the American legislature that put profits over lives. Our systems prefers everyone fat and sick.

No. They cracked down on shipping to the US during the spring. That’s why the Tijuana pharmacies are sold out now.
Only in British Columbia. The provinces are all independently regulated. You can get it right in Niagara Falls Canada.

They ship to America. It takes about 30 days.
I'm not sure if they carry the weight loss drugs.
They don’t carry Ozempic. ADC is for buying generics like retinoic.
