But they still cost $1200 a dose, right?

Because no one can afford them since most insurance companies either don't cover full cost or even half anymore.

Give some Wegovy to Trump, and please, throw in some Prevagin.

They are also used as diabetes medications, weightloss is just another thing that the medication can do. Some people can handle the side effects some cannot. There is a lot of trial and error in finding out what works best for you when taking the med. *I am a pharmacy tech*

But just wait for the tariffs. The active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) contained in Wegovy is called semaglutide. Novo (manufacturer) says that it produces the API for Wegovy at its facilities in Denmark.

It's true. Canada was harsh on people trying to get it when the craze started. Now there's ads for it everywhere. Either that or my social media algorithms see that I'm 39 years old and just wants to assume I need these ads. Like seriously Facebook and insta...all Ozempic and hair loss stuff. 🤷🏻

Finalmente una buena noticia para quienes dependen de estos tratamientos. Esperemos que la disponibilidad se mantenga y que todos los pacientes puedan acceder a las opciones que necesitan. La salud debe ser una prioridad, y contar con los medicamentos adecuados es crucial.

Now that the shortage is over, compounding pharmacies must stop selling formulated versions of the drug. It will be very interesting to see what happens with the many app-based services that offer prescriptions and mail delivery for these compounded drugs. Will FDA have the staff to enforce the law?

Recent Pop Reference @griffostrophe.bsky.social

cf. Orwell, 1984: "there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grammes a week. And only yesterday, [...] the ration was to be REDUCED to twenty grammes a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes"

Practically what this means is that every company offering compounded semaglutide is going to crater (HIMS is down 23% in the last hour). This will push folks to go after grey market sources for a life-changing drug, all to enrich Novo Nordisk shareholders

People finally realizing how awful they make you feel. Always knew the weight loss fad with the drugs would fade. Throw the pens in the corner with the Nordic Trac and Thigh Master

Just Stop Movement. I need to physically do something now. Today. Everyday. Almost everyone can do this & lawfully. It could spread more every day. We cannot wait “53days" to have an agreed to collective protest. Please share it. Spread it. Do it.

That's a relief! With both Ozempic and Wegovy back on the shelves, it’ll be interesting to see how that affects their popularity. Let's hope this means more people can access the help they need without the added stress of shortages.
