Criminal Networks Exploit Fake Ozempic Batch Numbers to Circulate Dangerous Drugs

Counterfeit Ozempic pens, often disguised as insulin, have led to hospitalizations and deaths across multiple countries.

Fake Ozempic pens with forged batch numbers have been found in at least 30 countries.
The World Health Organization and Interpol have issued warnings about the widespread issue.
Criminals obtain batch numbers through various means, including corrupt connections and advanced scanning technology.
Counterfeit drugs have resulted in severe health consequences, including hypoglycemia and even death.
Efforts to combat the counterfeit trade are complicated by high demand and regulatory challenges.
