There are hundreds of pharmaceutical drug in short supply -- among them there are critical shortages of Vyvanse, an ADHD treatment and diabetes medication Ozempic.
Hollywood stars have popularised Ozempic as a weight loss drug and Vyvanse, colloquially known as a ‘Dexie’ is no longer just a coveted study drug but now also popular in the party scene.
What does this mean for people living with illnesses and disabilities when their medication is in hot demand for other reasons? And how do we respond to these shortages? This episode of The Antoinettes explores skinny jabs, party pills and the role generic meds play in the future of critical med supplies.
The Antoinettes acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the Land we have recorded this podcast on, the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation. We pay our respects to their Elders past and present, and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures.
