The College of Physicians & Surgeons of Nova Scotia has suspended a doctor it says was responsible for thousands of prescriptions of the diabetes and weight-loss drug Ozempic that were mailed to Americans by two British Columbia pharmacies.
Dr. Gus Grant, registrar and CEO of the college, said Thursday the regulator first heard about the Nova Scotia-licensed practitioner from media coverage of B.C.’s recent move to restrict access to the drug for non-residents.
