Several people in Austria have been hospitalized after taking fake Ozempic injections, with authorities warning citizens to avoid sourcing weight loss injections from “dubious sources.”
Austria’s Federal Office for Safety in Health Care (BASG) “has received initial reports that several patients had to be treated in hospital after using suspected counterfeit Ozempic,” the agency said in an Oct. 23 warning. “The reported serious side effect with hypoglycaemia and seizures is an indication that the product incorrectly contained insulin instead of the active ingredient semaglutide.”
