For patients experiencing difficulty in getting their supply of Ozempic or Saxenda, we share your frustrations.
Regrettably, we do not have an alternative injection for weight management at this point in time.
New medications are coming for weight management, but it will be some time before they get here.
If your supply is interrupted, please keep in touch with your pharmacist. They will be able to advise you about stock and supply.
Some patients have been able to access their supply from alternative pharmacies and we are happy to forward your prescription if this is an option for you.
If you have been unable to use your medication for some weeks due to a supply shortage, please restart it at the lower dose and build it up as before to avoid unpleasant gastrointestinal side effects.
