GLONGHUI, May 22 | Australia will ban pharmacies from producing replicas of popular diet pills such as Ozempic. Earlier reports claimed that these drugs had dangerous side effects, including a patient being hospitalized due to a “serious adverse event.” Australian Health Minister Mark Butler said in a statement on Wednesday that pharmacies will be restricted from producing complex GLP-1 receptor agonist products for individual patients — a class of drugs to help control blood sugar levels. The bug previously allowed the production of products similar to Ozempic that were not approved by Australian regulators. According to Butler, more than 20,000 Australian patients have been using this generic, mainly to lose weight.
