#novolog — Public Fediverse posts

Apparently the cause of the novorapid/novolog insulin, produced by Novo Nordisk, is they stole manufacturing capacity from their insulin business to produce more Ozempic.

Instead of increasing production capacity, they shifted capacity to a more profitable drug.

Despite that, Ozempic is still in massive shortage. But also so is novorapid/novolog, now.

If this is actually true, Novo Nordisk is endangering lives for profit.
