Generic versions of drugs like Ozempic could become tougher to get. (Joe O’Connal/The Canadian Press via AP, File)AP Plenty of folks have been using GLP-1s — generic versions of popular weight loss drugs such as Ozempic and Zepbound — to jump-start their health journeys lately.
But those folks could be in for bad news. That’s because a recent ruling by the FDA that there was no longer a shortage of the medications means that compounding pharmacies have been ordered to stop making the less expensive versions of the drug.
That order, focusing on drugs that contained the active drug trizepatide, took effect on March 19, and Healthline.com reported that a similar measure could be taken for drugs containing semaglutide on April 22.
