FDA Has Seized ‘Thousands’ of Fake Units of Ozempic Amid Reported Cases of ‘Adverse Reactions’ in Patients
Those looking to slim down before the New Year might want to heed an important warning.
On Thursday, the FDA said that it had seized “thousands of units” of counterfeit Ozempic, a semaglutide injectable used as a weight loss drug, which have made their way to pharmacies and suppliers.
The agency says that five people have been affected by the counterfeit drugs so far but that their conditions have not been serious, and their symptoms are “consistent with known common adverse reactions” to authentic Ozempic,
