Diabetes Australia is aware of shortages of both Ozempic and Trulicity.
The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) has advised that the shortage of both is likely to last until the end of August.
Some supply will be available during this period but it will be intermittent.
Diabetes Australia has been working with the Therapeutic Goods Administration, the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners, the Australian Diabetes Society, the Pharmacy Guild of Australia and other relevant health organisations to encourage health professional to limit prescriptions to people living with type 2 diabetes.
People who are impacted should talk to their GP or another member of their diabetes healthcare team about alternative medicines to help them manage their diabetes until the shortages are resolved.
We encourage people to leave their prescription with their regular pharmacy if you can. This will help your pharmacist to order for you and help you to get the medicines you need.

WEIGHTLOSS PATIENTS
If your insurance doesn’t cover Saxenda, Ozempic, or Mounjaro or your pharmacy won’t fill your prescription I have a compound pharmacy option.
It would be paid out of pocket and shipped to your home.
Mounjaro at the retail pharmacy price is $1200.00/$300 weekly.
The the generic version from the compounding pharmacy I recommend is $500 /$62.50 weekly for an 8 wk supply of the 2.5mg dose. The 5mg dose will last 6 weeks (there is no evidence that better weightloss is obtained with higher doses). If you are interested contact me and I will send you an invoice.
