Oh please. Dd works at a weight loss clinic, won’t say which state, and they absolutely are prescribing it for anyone who can afford it!

No they don’t. Maybe to celebrities but not to normal people.



I’m normal. I got a ozempic prescription.

This is where most of us are already. I've been off it since the beginning of summer. It is very unfortunate.


Have you gained back the weight you lost?

Check the back of your insurance card. We have Aetna and they have a mail order pharmacy number to call on the card. They've been able to get me Wegovy

My dr said that that the shortage should end around January. But that’s months away.

I think they have stopped making the starter doses so they can focus production on those that are already at the full doses. But have not been able to find the full 2.0 dose anywhere.

I called Costco today- they haven’t seen any 0.25 or 0.5 in the Dc warehouse since April.

Any other leads?

So mounjaro lmao


Yep and thankfully insurance is even stricter about Mounjaro, so all the losers using it for weight loss won’t be buying up all the supplies.

Because my insurance covers Ozempic with a $25 copay no questions asked even if you don’t have diabetes. Wegovy requires a prior auth plus the copay is more. After being on Ozempic for a year and a half I no longer meet the criteria for Wegovy so it would be an uphill battle to get it covered.


Wegovy is not readily available. Been waiting two months for it for a family member.

DP - Because they both have the same active ingredient and Ozempic ~ $500/month cheaper if you are paying out of pocket.


You are getting robbed
