When semaglutide access disappeared for 503Bs, many independent pharmacy owners were left wondering—what now?
Dr. Anne West, Clinical Pharmacist at Atrium24, recently led a packed webinar to answer that exact question. The solution?
Liraglutide,
a proven GLP-1 agonist, and a viable next step for pharmacy teams seeking to maintain revenue and patient continuity in the evolving weight management space.
“Even if liraglutide didn’t make waves when it first came out, interest is rising quickly now,” said Dr. West. “It’s on the FDA drug shortage list due to increased demand, and we’re seeing more and more pharmacies ready to offer it.”
📌 Why Independent Pharmacies Should Offer Liraglutide
Dr. West explains that liraglutide is ideal for GLP-1 newcomers, patients with semaglutide-related side effects, or those transitioning to a maintenance dose. It also offers a smoother side effect profile and greater control through daily subcutaneous injection.
“Side effects like nausea and constipation are milder with liraglutide,” she shared. “That allows patients to eat better, retain muscle mass, and avoid overly rapid weight loss, which isn’t healthy long-term.”
💉 How to Get Started – With Zero Risk
Through the Atrium24 GPO, members can order as little as one vial at a time from Olympia.
“There’s no risk. You can start with just two vials. And thanks to GPO pricing, it’s guaranteed profit—no matter what,” said Dr. West.
🧪 Olympia’s liraglutide is available now, with extended beyond-use dating and multiple vial sizes (including a 90mg option anticipated to be the most popular).
