Anyone know which medications having problems getting.

The current shortages are impacting on supplies of most the GLP-1 RA medications which include Ozempic, Trulicity, Victoza, Saxenda, Byetta, and Bydureon. The new alert directs clinicians to identify patients prescribed Byetta and Victoza injections and, in line with NICE guidance, switch them to Rybelsus tablets.4 Jan 2024

Medication shortages allegedly partly due to Brexit. Enforced Brexit devaluation of the £ made imported medication ( i e. most) more expensive. It's hit and miss with supply of some insulin as well like Lilly's Humulin I Kwikpen.
