Fake Ozempic Alert: Learn to Recognize Authentic Product

David Fuller

Last Updated On: July 5, 2024

According to a news release from WHO on June 20, 2024, counterfeit copies of the Ozempic were discovered in Brazil in October 2023, the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland in October 2023, and the United States in December 2023. The WHO states that these counterfeit drugs may have “harmful effects to people’s health” and that injectables may include a “undeclared active ingredient,” such as insulin, that could be dangerous or cause problems for users’ health. 

FDA has also warned consumers not to use counterfeit Ozempic (semaglutide) found in U.S. drug supply chain. The alarming rise of fake drugs makes it necessary for all medical professionals to ensure they can recognize authentic products from fakes.

Key Points from WHO Warning

• Counterfeit Semaglutide Reports: Increased cases in multiple countries.
• Health Risks: Falsified medicines can cause severe health complications.
• Safety Tips: Buy medications only from providers who can confirm the product authenticity
• Check packaging and expiry dates to make sure your Ozempic is safe to use.
