Today the CEO of Ozempic and Wegovy was interviewed by CNN. He admitted that the shortages due to current demand levels will not be met by supplies for many years to come. They have currently stopped producing the starter doses, and this will remain in place until all current users have been titrated up to maximum dose, i.e. maximising profit for the company.
He confirmed that users will need to take the drug for life since weight loss is reversed as soon as the drug is stopped because obesity is built in to all people naturally and cannot be reversed. He also says there are no safety issues with these drugs, and that adverse events are due to other illnesses and pre-existing conditions but the drug is not responsible.
I have to say I am not convinced by his replies.
