Ozempic availability

I was prescribed Ozempic when it became available and it suited me well, my diabetes was controlled and although I’m housebound due to other medical issues and a wheelchair user I was also losing weight slowly, so win win. I have not been able to find it since January. I can’t shop around as I’m stuck at home and have my meds deliver by Loyds pharmacy online. Has anyone any ideas what I can do or where to go? Thanks
 
I had to stop taking Victoza injections in January, these are in the same group of meds as Ozempic. I was changed to Rybelsus tablets (semaglutide) and my weight management and blood sugars have remained stable.
 
My trulicity finally didn't show up this month. I've been expecting to be out of stock for ages. Luckily, the pharmacy are on it and contacted the DN who's arranged a new jab. Collecting tomorrow and we'll see where we go from there.
Nearly two weeks without Trulicity and I can really tell the difference it made to me and eating. Don't get me wrong, a big dinner is nice sometimes but it feels loads after my tiny bird portions. I can absolutely see why people put the weight back on after losing with it. I am used to eating when full which is after a tiny amount
 
A bit off topic. I was on Trulicity for nearly 3 years. It helped me to lose and keep off about 10% of my body weight. More importantly, it did help me develop the habit of eating smaller pirtions and eating less frequently. I've been off Trulicity for almost 3 months now and finding that I still eat only twice a day and smaller portions. Around the same time as I stopped Trulicity, I moved onto a low-carb way of eating, and the weight continued to go down for a while afterwards at a good rate. I have to work a bit harder at it these days, but I'm not restricting my calories or amount of food apart for going low on carbs and avoiding as much processed food as I can. It's too early to say if this will last longer term, but so far, so good.
