Zave Smith/Getty Images(NEW YORK) As Ozempic and other drugs used for weight loss continue to soar in popularity, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a new warning for consumers.
On Thursday, the FDA announced it had seized "thousands of units" of counterfeit Ozempic from the U.S. drug supply.
The agency warned consumers, as well as wholesalers, retail pharmacies and health care workers, to check Ozempic products, noting, "Some counterfeit products may still be available for purchase."
Ozempic, made by Novo Nordisk, is approved by the FDA to treat Type 2 diabetes, but some doctors prescribe the medication "off-label" for weight loss. Ozempic is an injectable medication that is typically prescribed to be taken once per week.
The active ingredient in Ozempic is semaglutide, a medication that also was initially approved for Type 2 diabetes but which the FDA has since approved for use in weight management under the brand name Wegovy. L
