The drugmaker is adamant the deceptive practices not only jeopardize patient well-bein, but also compromise the credibility of their FDA-approved Semaglutide medicines.
The maker of popular weight loss drug Ozempic is fighting back against copycats of the drug popping up nationwide.
Novo Nordisk has initiated legal proceedings against a range of entities – encompassing medical spas, weight loss clinics and online pharmacies – in a concerted effort to curb the sale and promotion of counterfeit drugs that claim to replicate the effects of Ozempic.
