Not that I can see - press reports suggest that it can only be prescribed for Type II diabetes. Though this might be of interest: Ozempic - the reality of the ‘miracle’ weight-loss jab

I am on Ozempic since June 2022. It has to be prescribed by your GP as its prescription only. It is being prescribed off label for weightless but my GP told be that the HSE are sending ketters asking GPs to only prescribe it for Diabetes type II as the supplies are virtually non existent now.
Some pharmacies won't even give you Ozempic unless your a regular customer with proof you are using it for diabetes and not weight loss (long term illness card).

Wegovy which is purely for weightloss was meant to be available from March 2023 but it's been delayed. Your bmi would need to be over 30 to qualify for this.

I know somebody who takes Saxenda. She orders it from the UK.

Oh and I live in Dublin, Ireland.
