Data from the Canadian province of British Columbia reveal that an unusually high percentage of all dispenses of semaglutide, marketed as Ozempic, have been sold to residents of the United States.
Data from the Canadian province of British Columbia reveal that an unusually high percentage of all dispenses of semaglutide, marketed as Ozempic, have been sold to residents of the United States. For January and February alone, 15% or 15,798 of all semaglutide dispenses from pharmacies in BC were sold to US residents.
Semaglutide is a medical therapy for type 2 diabetes that has become popular because of its weight-loss benefits. The situation raises questions about ensuring the adequate supply of drugs for Canadians and maintaining necessary drug safety monitoring. BC has not experienced any shortages of the 1-mg formulation of injectable semaglutide, but a national shortage in Canada was reported in mid-March.
"Coverage of Ozempic in BC is only available for residents of Canada with type 2 diabetes mellitus who have tried metformin before and need a new treatment," according to the health ministry."It is not for people with other diseases or for those looking to lose weight." The ministry is asking physicians who prescribe semaglutide and pharmacists who dispense semaglutide to comply with the product's approved indication in Canada.
