I’m meant to take one of them - Ozempic. Here in Australia it’s been hard to get since about March last year and there’s been none come into the country since November and won’t be any more until at least the end of March. If you’re lucky you might find some somewhere because there is some very limited supply around but most people can’t get it. They tried limiting it to just diabetics but drs kept prescribing it for weight loss and pharmacists kept dispensing it even though our TGA and even the company that makes it came out and asked / advised them strongly not to. Trulicity is pretty much impossible to get too for the same reason.
