How is NiceRx responding to drug shortages?
Due to high demand, Novo Nordisk, the company behind Wegovy, Ozempic, and Saxenda, foresees shortages in the availability of these weight loss medications.They expect the demand for these medications to surpass the available supply. Patients might encounter challenges in obtaining Wegovy and Zepbound prescriptions throughout 2024 and potentially beyond.
NiceRx and its affiliated healthcare providers are taking additional measures to assist patients in their weight loss journey. We are helping patients to access compounded GLP-1 medications (e.g. compounded semaglutide and compounded tirzepatide) that are readily available while the brand name drugs are in shortage to assist with the continuity of treatment. Providers may adjust the treatment plan for patients if deemed clinically appropriate. These adjustments could involve prescribing alternative GLP-1 medications, working collaboratively on a personalized treatment plan, or suggesting modifications to diet, lifestyle, and fitness activities.
For patients starting the NiceRx Weight Loss Program, the initial steps remain unaffected by the supply issues. If a provider decides that a GLP-1 medication is suitable, the sooner a patient joins the program, the quicker our team can work towards assisting you with your weight loss journey.

Medication disclaimers
Compounded semaglutide
Compounded semaglutide contains the same active ingredient as Wegovy and Ozempic. It’s an injectable glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) prescription drug that can help people with obesity (BMI ≥30) or overweight (BMI ≥27) to lose weight and keep it off.

Semaglutide is injected subcutaneously once weekly. Semaglutide is typically initiated at a dose of 0.25 mg weekly that is injected subcutaneously.
If the patient does not tolerate a specific dose during the dose escalation period, consider delaying the dose escalation for 4 weeks.
