Diabetes drug shortage due to weight loss trend

In addition to Ozempic, the FDA lists Eli Lilly’s Mounjaro, or tirzepatide, as being in shortage, along with some strengths of the drug Trulicity, or dulaglutide.

My dad 65 y/o has diabetes and thanks to this was without for 4 weeks. Dr's should be ashamed of themselves.

I've had diabetes for years now and the mounjaro is the only one that gets me to the "target" A1C range of under 7%. I really hope everyone that doesn't have diabetes and is taking this for weight loss gets shifted over to wegovy, which is the only GLP-1 agonist actually FDA approved for weight loss anyway. These doctors writing these prescriptions to people who are not diabetic are causing this, some of us need this to function.

Shortage of stock because of celebrities and micro celebrities, also over entitled and lazy good for nothings. These individuals are too lazy, up them selves and self entitled to do things the old fashioned way and work at it. This leaves the people that actually require these medications, to have to go without. Shame on you.
