UK authorities cautioned people to be alert against fake Ozempic being distributed in the market following the hospitalization of some individuals who used the products.
The UK’s Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) is “warning the public not to buy pre-filled pens claiming to contain Ozempic (semaglutide) or Saxenda (liraglutide) but to consult a healthcare professional qualified to prescribe medicines and obtain a prescription.” The agency “received reports of a very small number of people who have been hospitalized after using potentially fake weight-loss pens.”
