That's the first time I hear about this. A close friend of mine uses it and she just goes to the pharmacy. Never heard about any problems with supply.

The French social security site has a page asking phamacists to make sure the prescriptions are correct, in order to guarantee availability to people who actually need this [0]. This sounds pretty much like the supply is somewhat limited for whatever reason. --- [0] https://www.ameli.fr/pharmacien/actualites/antidiabetiques-aglp-1-le-dispositif-d-accompagnement-la-prescription-est-entre-en-vigueur https://www.ameli.fr/pharmacien/actualites/antidiabetiques-a...
- daveoc64 9mo agoThat is nearly a year old now. There were previously supply issues with these drugs throughout Europe, but those were mostly resolved by the end of 2024. By mid-2025, it was (and still is) possible to easily get all of the medicines for any of the approved uses, including weight loss and diabetes.
