This is somewhat off-topic, hence I'll close to replying.

Am posting for two reasons:

First, because of the issue itself.

Second, as a reminder that even apparently wholly legitimate sources can supply fake medicines.

Falsified Ozempic (semaglutide) pens identified at two wholesalers in the UK

No evidence of supply or harm to patients

The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has today (18 October 2023) confirmed that pre-filled pens falsely labelled as the diabetes medicine Ozempic (semaglutide, 1 mg, solution for injection) have been identified at two UK wholesalers. All affected pens have been recalled and accounted for, and none of the pens have been supplied to UK patients.
