I personally know 3 people - who are not diabetic - who are on this drug to lose weight. It’s anecdotal evidence for sure, but it makes me think that people are seeing this as a miracle weight loss drug. Which is probably causing the shortages.
The drug is definitely over prescribed I am sure, but surely using it as preventative treatment before the person becomes diabetic is long term better than waiting for them to become diabetic, right?
I don’t really know anything about the drug but I know it has helped some people who really need it. It is a shame it is being locked behind patents and shortages.
