The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the use of semaglutide injectable (Ozempic) in the treatment of T2DM in 2017. The medication has received widespread acceptance due to its positive effects on weight loss and lowering of chronic health risks. Additionally, this medication has risen in popularity over the past few years, as many well-known actors/actresses/songwriters and more came forward, publicly sharing their weight loss journey. Conversely, the boost in popularity has also resulted in significant shortages of this medication, negatively impacting the lives of the diabetic community, local pharmacies and healthcare providers. The goal of this continuing education program is to educate and empower the healthcare provider in all aspects of this drug regimen: clinical indications, patient education, cost options, and benefit/risk analysis.
