Where is that? I'm pretty sure in France you can't just walk into a pharmacy and buy it, you need a prescription.

Yes, she has a prescription. I did not think it was relevant to the supply.

I think it's somewhat related. The French social security site has a page asking phamacists to make sure the prescriptions are correct, in order to guarantee availability to people who actually need this [0].

This sounds pretty much like the supply is somewhat limited for whatever reason.

That is nearly a year old now.

There were previously supply issues with these drugs throughout Europe, but those were mostly resolved by the end of 2024.

By mid-2025, it was (and still is) possible to easily get all of the medicines for any of the approved uses, including weight loss and diabetes.
