Reminder that the rules for lemmy.ca also apply here. See the sidebar on the homepage:
Gotta love people taking drugs from others that actually need them. The off label use here should be seriously looked into.
Then why isn't production increased?
It's not like the hype is new, manufacturers just didn't keep up. Whether stupidity or intent, I don't know.
The drug was only approved last December. Everyone needs a bit more patience.
Ozempic was approved in the US in 2017 and in Canada in 2018.
