It’s true that Ozempic can be quite costly, and many people struggle to afford it, especially if it’s not covered by insurance. The Australian peaks for medical organizations advocating for its inclusion on the PBS (Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme) for weight loss highlight the importance of making effective treatments accessible to those who need them. By doing so, more individuals could have the opportunity to manage their weight and improve their overall health without facing financial hardship. It will be interesting to see how the discussion around Ozempic evolves and whether policy changes will take place in the near future to address these concerns.
