The pharmaceutical company that supplies Ozempic, Novo Nordisk, has recently advised the TGA and the Ozempic Medicine Shortage Action Group that supply throughout the rest of the year and into 2024 will be limited. Currently we are asking health professionals not to prescribe Ozempic to new patients to conserve supply for patients who are already stabilised on this medicine and who do not have suitable alternatives.
