Exclusive-Delays getting higher dose Wegovy to patients reported by US doctors
Some U.S. patients taking the two highest doses of Novo Nordisk's Wegovy weight-loss drug are facing difficulty filling their prescriptions, eight doctors around the country told Reuters this week, suggesting a new supply challenge for the popular medicine. Wegovy is a weekly injection that can help patients shed 15% of their weight alongside diet and exercise changes. Walgreens, one of the biggest U.S. pharmacies, is experiencing supply shortages for the higher strengths, spokesperson Erin Loverher confirmed.
