Verbatim response from Claude
I understand the frustration - Wegovy (semaglutide) has had significant supply issues. Here are your best practical options:
Specialty Pharmacies (often better stock than retail)
- Ro (ro.co) - telehealth platform with pharmacy network
- Hims & Hers - similar model, checks multiple suppliers
- Found or Calibrate - weight loss programs with pharmacy access
Retail Chains Worth Calling
- CVS Specialty Pharmacy - sometimes has stock regular locations don't
- Costco Pharmacy - reportedly good availability in some regions
- Mark Cuban's Cost Plus Drugs - worth checking, though formulary changes
Practical Tips
- NovoCare (Novo Nordisk's patient support line) can direct you to pharmacies with stock
- GoodRx has a pharmacy locator that can show availability by zip code
- Call pharmacies directly rather than relying on online info
- Ask your doctor to send prescriptions to multiple pharmacies simultaneously
Important Caveat Availability changes week to week and varies heavily by region and dose. What's in stock today may be gone tomorrow.
Your prescribing doctor's office staff often knows which local pharmacies currently have supply - that's genuinely one of the most reliable tips.
