Ozempic, a drug indicated for diabetes, is being massively used to lose weight. “The Ozempic stockpile breaks equity in patients' access to the treatment they need,” warned Matilde Sánchez Reyes, president of the Federation of Pharmaceutical Distributors.
The Spanish Medicines Agency admits that the use of the drug in private weight loss clinics aggravates the shortage . The pharmacy network works in Spain as a high-precision mechanism, with 22,220 open offices and 33,000 medications on market.
