"Fake Ozempic Triggers Life-Threatening Hypoglycemia Cases in the US"

Three Americans were hospitalized with life-threateningly low blood pressure after injecting themselves with suspected fake versions of the diabetes drug Ozempic, leading to concerns about the nationwide shortage of the drug and the availability of counterfeit versions online. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is investigating the cases, and warnings have been issued about the dangers of purchasing Ozempic from unlicensed sources. Reports of fake Ozempic pens have also emerged from other countries, with some cases resulting in hospitalization due to hypoglycemia.
