Consultations for obesity drug prescriptions are way up over 2023, survey finds
NPRConsultations for obesity drug prescriptions are way up over 2023, survey finds Appointments with health professionals for obesity drug consultations are way up, according to data from Zocdoc, a provider of scheduling services. SYDNEY LUPKIN, BYLINE: Doctor Sarah Nosal, a family physician in the South Bronx, New York, says a lot more of her patients have come in asking about obesity drugs this year. Zocdoc, an online scheduling platform for doctors appointments, says it's seen a big increase for 2024 in patients seeking consultations about semaglutide. Zocdoc's CEO, Oliver Kharraz, says in some ways, appointments for these weight loss drugs don't line up with patients' usual patterns around health care.
