| Australia: Counterfeit semaglutide vials (English only) |
| |
The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) has detected fake semaglutide, also known as Ozempic, being illegally imported into Australia. The TGA recently tested two imported products labelled as semaglutide and found that they were counterfeit.
Laboratory testing confirmed that the following two products did not contain semaglutide as labelled:
- Global Health Pharmaceuticals and Therapeutics branded Semaglutide 5mg vial
- Peptides Lab branded Semaglutide 10mg vial
These results serve as a warning to consumers to avoid buying semaglutide products from unverified online sellers, as they may not contain the active ingredient. Counterfeit products may also contain other undeclared and hazardous ingredients that could cause serious risk to the health and safety of consumers. They also may not meet manufacturing quality and safety standards and have unknown contaminants.
Please refer to the following website in TGA for details:

In Hong Kong, the above products are not registered pharmaceutical products.
