Industry group says treatments may need to be restricted to the most overweight
Demand for weight loss drugs is becoming so “unsustainable” that demand may soon outstrip supply, pharmacists have warned.
The National Pharmacy Association (NPA) said supply problems could encourage people to turn to unregulated online sources, despite the risks involved.
The drugs might need to be reserved for those in greatest need because they are so overweight instead of being given to the “worried well”, it added.
No shit. What a dumb statement to make. How horrible it must be to have even more market and profits to be made.
It’s not like this shit is made from unicorn tears. It’s synthesized in a lab. They could make more if they wanted to. But false scarcity drives up demand. And prices.
