Croatia: shortage of diabetes drug reported

(ANSA) - BELGRADE, MAR 6 - Also in Croatia, confirming a global trend, there is a shortage of the drug Ozempic, which is primarily intended for people with diabetes but is increasingly being used by people who simply want to lose weight, according to Croatian media. According to media reports, Croats are traveling to neighboring Slovenia to obtain "weight loss medicine," of which there appears to be no shortage.
