NY.- In recent months, the drug Ozempic, which many Dominicans use under prescription to combat diabetes, has been in short supply in the United States, colliding with global supply problems, reports the Anglo-Saxon press.
It is a medication given once a week to improve blood sugar, along with diet and exercise, reduces the risk of major cardiovascular events such as heart attack, stroke, or death in adults with type 2 diabetes and known heart disease.
Ozempic’s popularity is not due to rising rates of diabetes, but to its weight-loss benefits, doctors say.
Without medication, people with type 2 diabetes are at risk of high blood sugar that can lead to heart disease, kidney disease, hearing loss, and stroke.
Ozempic works by mimicking a hormone in the body that regulates insulin levels. Allison Schneider, a spokeswoman for the company that made the factory, admitted that the company is still experiencing supply problems.
