Ozempic – The Patient's Perspective.

In this episode I explore the conversations happening around the current shortages of Ozempic in Ireland.  As a Pharmacist, I wanted to take a holistic view of the situation with the patient's perspective at the core.  Ireland is facing a significant and threatening obesity crisis, failure by the HSE to act now will result in the downfall of our health system in my view.  I say the downfall, but the reality is what's felt of it is already falling apart.

In This Episode

• What is Ozempic?
• Obesity in Ireland.
• Saxenda and other GLP-1 analogues.
• Drug shortages.
• Who is to blame?
• Action we can take.
