Drug shortages are growing in the United States, and experts see no clear path to resolving them.
WHICH DRUGS ARE IN SHORTAGE?
A spokeswoman for Ozempic maker Novo Nordisk says all doses of the drug are now available at pharmacies nationwide. Adderall supplies face an additional challenge when demand spikes. Federal regulators limit supplies for the drug each year because it is a controlled substance.Ozempic is a diabetes drug. The same medication, semaglutide, is sold under a different brand name, Wegovy, for weight loss. Schondelmeyer noted the per-milligram price for Wegovy can be more than twice as much as Ozempic.
“Once a shortage starts with something you make just in time anyway, it’s really hard to resolve it unless all the suppliers are back,” she said.Shortages might lead to treatment delays, which can hurt patients dealing with time-sensitive conditions like cancer.
