In 2024, ASEBP members wanted to know more about specialty weight loss drugs, what to do for restless legs, and who should get the shingles vaccine. 

These were some of the top health-related questions that you and other members searched and viewed on ASEBP’s It Takes a Village website.  

With the release of Wegovy in May 2024, a weight loss medication made by the same manufacturers of Ozempic, ASEBP saw an increase in the number of members looking for information about their benefit coverage. Not surprisingly, ASEBP's pharmacist answered the most questions about brand-name drugs used for weight loss.

Here are the top five health topics that interested ASEBP members in 2024: 

  1. What is the buzz about Wegovy? 
  2. What is Ozempic and why is it getting so much attention? 
  3. How do I calm restless legs? 
  4. Should I get the shingles vaccine? 
  5. Calcium supplements: should I take one?
