As demand for GLP-1 medications has increased, so have reports of supply shortages. Patients using these medications for weight loss or diabetes management may face difficulties obtaining their prescriptions. Here’s a closer look at availability issues and possible solutions.
Reasons Behind GLP-1 Shortages
Several factors contribute to the recent shortages, including increased demand due to the weight loss benefits of GLP-1s and manufacturing delays. This shortage affects both Ozempic and Wegovy, which are in high demand.
