On its website, the federal regulator said 'intermittent shortages' are expected from late August to early October
A shortage of diabetes drug Ozempic that is used off-label for weight loss is expected in Canada, manufacturer Novo Nordisk and Health Canada said on Friday.
On its website, the federal regulator said "intermittent shortages" are expected from late August to early October. People with diabetes usually start taking Ozempic at a 0.25 mg or 0.5 mg dose before moving up to 1 mg, which is the maintenance dose, he said. If patients aren't due for a refill until October or later, they may not be affected by the shortage at all, Power said.
But some doctors and ethics experts have criticized Novo Nordisk for aggressively marketing both Ozempic and Rybelsus in Canada in recent months, citing concerns that people will seek prescriptions for cosmetic weight loss.
