Health Canada has issued a national recall for compounded medications that include semaglutide, an essential ingredient found in well-known weight-loss drugs such as Ozempic and Wegovy.

Semaglutide and pyridoxine were compounded by Create Compounding Pharmacy in Calgary and contain “an unauthorized active pharmaceutical ingredient,” Health Canada said in a Jan. 21 recall notice.
