Ozempic, has recently been authorised for release in the UK as Wegovy. I believe it had been initially prescribed to type 2 diabetics but since its widescale release "to all", typically in the third would country I live in, we have run out, or more more pointily not been prepared! Furthermore with our GP's in the pocket of the GMC, reputation wise, I doubt any of them other than the private practices will be flexible to offer this to those without type 2.
I further believe Wegovy outperforms the current offering of Saxenda as you only need one jab a week as opposed to one a day.
Either way, these are not miracle drugs in so far as the user still has a responsibility to correct their lifestyle. BUT, it is a very good start!

I've heard here, that due to too many people now using it for weight loss and other off label purposes, it is now in short supply for people that need it for Type 2 Diabetes. That being said, if the other uses do prove effective, then hopefully the supply can be ramped up for those uses as well.

For whomever is paying attention, Neil DeGrasse Tyson is talking about Ozempic and off-label scripts.
