Ozempic, the blockbuster GLP-1 drug that was originally approved to treat type 2 diabetes, has now also been approved by the FDA to reduce certain risks associated with chronic kidney disease, drugmaker Novo Nordisk said.

It’s too bad that those very oligarchs who push those drugs, will now be in charge of the pricing. So although it is good news for some, it’s devastating for others because it will be priced so high no one can afford it. And it will never be approved by an insurance carrier.
Yet somehow, with Ozempic, Wegovy, and all those other “goodies,” obesity and diabetes rates in our country haven’t changed at all. In fact, they’ve gotten worse!
Ozempic is manufactured in Denmark, France, & Ireland. Novo Nordisk has a small plant in North Carolina but it’s not big enough to supply all of USA. Pick a fight with Denmark over Greenland & watch the price of US drugs sky rocket.
It's fascinating how a drug can evolve in its applications. From diabetes to chronic kidney disease, Ozempic might just be the MVP in the pharmaceutical league now. Here's hoping it brings relief to many more!
