Check Ozempic cartons for counterfeit serial numbers

NCPA April 15, 2025

The Food and Drug Administration advised patients, wholesalers, retail pharmacies, and health care professionals to check the Ozempic products they've received and not use, distribute, or sell products labeled with lot number PAR0362 and serial number starting with the first eight digits 51746517. It said it had seized several hundred units of counterfeit Ozempic injection 1mg on April 9, after Novo Nordisk warned the FDA the counterfeits were in the drug supply chain.

It said six adverse event reports had been associated with the lot, though none were associated with the counterfeit product. You can read the FDA warning here.
