Diet drugs containing semaglutide are in great demand but….short supply.  The FDA is now warning that the approved products including Rybelsus tablets, Ozempic injection, and Wegovy injection are being improperly spoofed, that is mimicked, by compounding pharmacies.  The problem seems to be that some pharmacies are using salt forms of semaglutide including semaglutide sodium and semaglutide acetate rather than the approved base form of semaglutide.  These salt forms of the drug have not been tested and shown to be safe and effective.  Don’t buy or use them.
