If you look carefully (as I did) you’ll see that the drug itself is made in Denmark. So whatever laws they have on the books there are the ones by which the company must abide. Also,I’ve read more than a few times that demand for it has recently skyrocketed mainly thanks to “the amply endowed”,leaving us diabetics in a bind.
Novo Nordisk sources their semaglutide (the ingredient in Ozempic and Wegovy) from several places. For that sold in the U.S. they package it into the injector pens in a U.S. plant, that plant failed a FDA inspection months ago so the production was halted until they got their act together. That was what caused the supply shortage, not a shortage of the actual medicine.
It's not fat people denying you medicine, blame it on the manufacturer who can't get their act together to ensure an adequate supply. Obesity kills more people than diabetes if you want to rank who needs it the most. Wegovy is FDA approved for weight loss, it's pretty much the only weight loss drug on the market that actually works while there are many for diabetes. I'm sure all those obese people who have been trying to lose weight for years and now have something to help them wish they'd thought of eating a salad and taking a walk, if only they'd known it was so easy to lose weight they could have saved themselves a lot of trouble.
