Omaha, NEB. (WOWT) -FDA is cracking down on brand weight loss products similar to Ozempic.
GLP-1 drugs for weight loss, such as Wegovy or Zepbound, were not enough.
Dr. Brianna Johnson-Rabbett, an endocrine scholar of UNMC, said, “The combination of demand, most of these drugs generally come out of the injector pen.” So I know that there are many problems in manufacturing the pen. ”
A copy is not allowed if a drug like Wegovy is patented.
Dr. Johnson-Rabbett said, “But there is a loophole with drugs that generally lack drugs.
During that period, complex pharmacies were able to sell replication products to replenish the supply.
Recently, however, the FDA has declared the lack of Semaglutide and Tirzepatide, which means that loopholes are closed and implemented.
Dr. Johnson-Rabbett said, “The FDA provided a significant lead time in advance on the date of the violation of the regulations, but yesterday was yesterday.
She says that the FDA regulations are important when determining safe and effective drugs.
Dr. Johnson-Rabbett said, “Of course, there are many different floors, but it checks if it works and actually works and quality.
“Check that the placement is the same. I know that the dose is marked as a dose, especially in the GLP 1 type, but people can actually do well, but if you get other dosage at a fairly higher dose, you can get a very illness.”
Experts say thousands or millions of people rely on a combined GLP-1 drug due to the low cost. Johnson-Rabbett is concerned about seeking this kind of treatment.
“Complex drugs have quality problems such as contamination with other substances or too many active ingredients. Therefore, there are significant concerns about patient safety.”
She is worried that people can find drug alternatives online.
Dr. Johnson-Rabbett said, “There is a concern that even things that need to be used in laboratory environments and things that can be used are specially complex.
“The same is true for counterfeit drugs that look like a pen of a labeled drug.”
She is not optimistic, but another tribe will not happen, but there will be no say that there can be no another tribe, and it will open again to re -use the open -open drugs that are open again.
Dr. Johnson-Rabbett recommends doctor consulting before testing these drugs. There may be alternative methods to support health goals.
