Novo Nordisk warned on Thursday of a surge in counterfeit versions of its weight-loss drug Wegovy and diabetes drug Ozempic offered online, as German authorities gave more details of complex European trades in a fake drug case.
Novo's words of caution, earlier reported by Danish publication Finans, amounted to the first detailed comments from the group on the counterfeit issue since a mid-June statement about fake Ozempic pens found at a U.S. retail pharmacy. That company in turn had received the consignment from a peer in Austria, the prosecutors said, adding that investigators are trying to find out whether more fakes had been sold in Germany.
The Danish drugmaker also said it was working with a third party specialized in monitoring and taking down illegal online offers. It scaled up this work in 2023 to ensure a broader reach, it said, declining to name the firm it was working with.
