PSM Urges to Check Lot Number and Serial Number on Ozempic Injection Products

The Partnership for Safe Medicines (PSM) is urging health care providers to check the lot number and serial number of Ozempic^® (semaglutide) 1 mg injection products, as counterfeit versions of the product have been found in the supply chain. Even though counterfeit injection products and authentic Novo Nordisk products have the lot number PAR0362, the counterfeit Ozempic products will also have the serial number 51746517. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is investigating the risks associated with using these counterfeit products. 

Any adverse events or side effects related to using the product should be reported to FDA’s MedWatch Safety Information and Adverse Event Reporting Program.
