Beware of Fake Ozempic: The Rise of Counterfeit Weight Loss Drugs

The growing demand for weight loss medications like Ozempic has unfortunately led to a rise in counterfeit versions. These fake drugs can look deceptively real but may contain dangerous substances or completely different medications.

As reported by the New York Times, the World Health Organization and Eli Lilly have both issued warnings about fake Ozempic and other weight loss drugs being sold online and through unregulated channels. These counterfeit drugs can be extremely dangerous, especially since Ozempic is injected.

What to Watch Out For

  • Online Sales: Be cautious of websites or social media platforms offering Ozempic without a prescription.

  • Low Prices: If the price seems too good to be true, it probably is.

  • Packaging Irregularities: Check for spelling mistakes or flimsy labels.

  • Unlicensed Vendors: Avoid purchasing from sources other than licensed pharmacies and healthcare providers.

Protect Yourself

Always consult with a licensed medical provider to obtain weight loss medications. They can ensure you receive the genuine product and provide proper guidance and monitoring. Oklahoma Wellness and Weight Loss is proud to be one of the first providers in the state to offer safe and effective weight loss solutions using Semaglutide and Tirzepatide.
