    This already happened a year or two ago when private clinics were prescribing both of the diabetic brands of semaglutide and dulaglutide among others [1] incorrectly for weight loss. Causing shortages of both to those with proper prescriptions for diabetes. They never officially admitted that was the cause but there were brazen websites offering these prescriptions for around £250 per month.
