-warns that the drug not registered for sale here

The authorities yesterday alerted the public to the possible presence here of fake versions of the diabetes and diet pill, Ozempic.

Coming on the heels of a May 22nd Stabroek News story about the marketing of the wildly popular diet pill here, the Government Analyst-Food and Drug Department (GA-FDD) also warned that  Ozempic (semaglutide) is not registered here and therefore should not be marketed for sale locally.

The GA-FDD urged individuals to report any entity offering this product for sale by contacting them at the following numbers: (592) 222-8859, 222-8934, or via WhatsApp at (592) 222-8011.
