WHO warns against fake weight loss drugs
The Morning Standard
|June 22, 2024
THE World Health Organisation ny jab (WHO) has warned about fake versions of popular weight-loss and diabetes medicines, saying these could pose risks to people's health.
The world health body said it had received several reports of fake semaglutide - the active ingredient in Novo Nordisk's Wegovy and Ozempic - in all geographic regions of the world since 2022. Also known as "skinny jab," Ozmpic is used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes.
After the fake medicines were found to be in circulation in many countries, the WHO, in its first official notice Thursday, warned that they could pose a danger to health.
WHO said authorities had seized fake batches of the drug in the UK, Northern Ireland, Brazil and the US.
