Popular weight loss drug Wegovy is back at retail pharmacies across the nation after maker Novo Nordisk faced unprecedented demand and manufacturing issues.
Fox News contributor Dr. Marc Siegel discusses how the baby formula shortage is impacting families and provides insight into the weight loss drug trial.
The company said in a statement to FOX Business that it "worked through supply challenges" and is increasing production capacity in 2023 while "closely monitoring prescribing trends and assessing demand." It is a sigh of relief for doctors who were left "scrambling to find alternative medicines that don't exist," according to gastroenterologist and obesity medicine specialist Dr. Christopher McGowan.
While Wegovy and Ozempic are the same medication – semaglutide – they have different dosages and FDA-approved intended uses.
