Hi and welcome to the forum. Yes I was on Victoza, another drug in the same group. There is a world wide shortage due to the heavy promotion of these meds being prescribed off label for weight
loss in non diabetics. Boots have told me that they won’t get more til later this year

Our response to serious supply issues of drugs for people with type 2 diabetes

The global shortage in supply was partly due to a surge in off-label prescriptions of the drug semaglutide being issued for weight loss, which was exceeding supply. Previously (since the summer of 2023) all stocks of GLP-1 RAs had to be reserved for those already using these medications...

I had 2 urgent appointments with GP to ask for Rybelsus tablets & been ignored it would seem. I moved doctors and asked for the tablets but i am getting a call from DB nurse on Monday. Seems GP's ignoring alert!
Anyone else had any experience getting Rybelsus?

My GP agreed as soon as I asked for it. I hope you have better luck with your nurse on Monday.
 
Aww thank you! I hope so too.
It would seem toilet strain and bleeding and ex bowel cancer is not enough for me to get it prescribed :-(
