In recent months, the use of Ozempic for weight loss has surged! Ozempic, originally approved for treating Type 2 diabetes, has gained popularity for its off-label use in weight management, spurred by endorsements from celebrities and social media influencers. However, recent studies have shown that users must be careful with their selection of product!
The World Health Organisation (WHO) has issued a global alert regarding the proliferation of fake versions of Ozempic. Known otherwise as a “skinny jab,” Ozempic’s active ingredient, semaglutide, helps regulate blood sugar levels and suppresses appetite, helping in weight loss. However, this surge in off-label use has led to shortages for diabetic patients and the emergence of dangerous fake versions on the market.
The Rise of Fake Ozempic
In a recent BBC article, WHO has been tracking the rise of counterfeit Ozempic since 2022, with fake batches being seized in countries including the UK, US, and Brazil. These counterfeit drugs pose significant health risks as they may either lack the active ingredient semaglutide or contain other medications, such as insulin, leading to unpredictable and potentially harmful effects. The WHO strongly advises sourcing Ozempic only through reputable channels, such as licensed healthcare providers, to mitigate these risks!
The rise in fake Ozempic highlights the critical importance of obtaining weight management medications from trusted, professional sources. Unregulated online marketplaces and social media platforms are breeding grounds for these fake drugs, putting users at severe risk. The unpredictable nature of these counterfeit products can result in adverse health effects, underscoring the necessity of professional medical oversight.
