Off-Brand Diet Drugs Kill

from Dr. Howard Smith Reports Hosted by Howard G. Smith MD, AM

Vidcast: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DDvPSeiSITJ/ The FDA and Novo Nordisk, the manufacturer of the popular diet drugs Ozempic and Wegovy, are issuing a warning that versions of these drugs created using raw materials are dangerous. To date, 346 adverse reactions have been reported, 100 persons have been hospitalized, and 10 deaths have occurred. The problem stems from the fact that the agent in these counterfeits is not safe and effective semaglutide. Only Novo’s version has been FDA-approved. I know that you may be thinking: the company is just protecting its profits. The fact is that the FDA has monitored this situation and issues this warning based on complications reported by medical teams unaffiliated with the company. https://www.mdlinx.com/article/off-brand-ozempic-leaves-10-dead-100-hospitalized/2QTH2Y7TMB2mJ99HJmRzvV?show_order=1&utm_campaign=reg_daily-alert_241114_daily-nl-am-v4_registered-users-a180&utm_source=iterable&utm_medium=email #diet #semaglutide #compounded #ozempic #wegovy
