Patients in the Dallas area are feeling the sticker shock of the end of the GLP-1 shortages. APC's Scott Brunner [explains to ABC News](https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/health/north-texas-pharmacies-brace-financial-impact-after-semaglutide-compounded-glp-1-banned/287-e8a28c51-c55f-4adb-86ee-f77de2dba61c) that it's not a local thing, as well as why it's happening.

"I've heard of patients having tantrums at the pharmacy counter when they see the price tag of the name-brand drug they have been prescribed," said Brunner.

It's (as you know!) not just patients feeling the shock. Pharmacies, the story explains, are often not even breaking even with mass-produced GLP-1s — some smaller indy pharmacies are even sending patients to chains rather than lose money by dispensing these drugs.
