Diabetes drugs being used for weight loss leads to shortage in UAE market – The National
High demand for diabetes drugs that also help with weight loss has resulted in a shortage in the UAE.
Over-the-counter medication Mounjaro (tirzepatide) and Ozempic are taken to treat Type 2 diabetes but they can also work as appetite suppressants.
Enthusiasm on social media, driven largely by celebrities and influencers, over their use for weight loss has led to a global shortage.
