TAMPA, FL (WFLA) — The U.S Food and Drug Administration is reporting a supply shortage with the diabetes drug Ozempic as the weight loss aid soars in popularity.

Over the last several months, demand for the medication has skyrocketed, leading to stock outages at pharmacies around the country.

Dr. Lilliam Chiques, the medical director at the Watson Clinic in Lakeland tells 8 On Your Side that more patients have come to her, seeking the medication to shed a few pounds.

The drug is intended for type 2 diabetes patients who need to keep their blood sugar levels in check.

Chiques said the drug’s popularity is growing, thanks to word of mouth and social media, where people have been praising its weight loss benefits.

“We have seen an explosion in patients asking specifically for these drugs,” Chiques said. “People lose 15 percent of body weight loss on average, some people do lose a lot more, and some people don’t respond as well.”

When blood sugar is low, insulin is low. It’s hard to lose weight with high insulin levels.
