Why are new weight loss drugs like Wegovy causing supply shortages?

Wegovy is like a super helper that helps people lose weight, but there aren’t enough of them to go around.

Wegovy is like a special pill that helps your body feel full longer and burn more calories. It's one of the new weight loss drugs, and it’s really popular because it works well for many people.

Imagine you have a favorite candy, and everyone in school wants some. If only a few kids bring it to class, there won’t be enough for all your friends. That's what is happening with Wegovy.

There are not enough pills made yet because the company that makes them needs time to produce more. People are using them faster than they can be made, so we’re seeing supply shortages, just like when you run out of your favorite snack at school.
